Donald Trump's first major foreign policy address alarmed American allies, who view the Republican front runner's repeated invocation of an "America first" agenda as a threat to retreat from the world.
While most governments were careful not to comment publicly on a speech by a U.S. presidential candidate, Germany's foreign minister veered from that protocol to express concern at Trump's wording.
"I can only hope that the election campaign in the USA does not lack the perception of reality," Frank-Walter Steinmeier said.
"The world's security architecture has changed and it is no longer based on two pillars alone. It cannot be conducted unilaterally," he said of foreign policy in a post-Cold War world. "No American president can get round this change in the international security architecture.... 'America first' is actually no answer to that."

How unreasonable that Trump, as president of the US, wants to put our interests first... (/sarc)
BFD
Then they’re scarcely “allies” in anything but name.
“It cannot be conducted unilaterally”
Except when it comes to paying the bill. In that case we welcome Americas unilateral action in this arena.
AMERICA FIRST !
F YEA !
The US doesn’t have allies. It has parasite infestations.
Take your rotten globalism and stuff it up your behind.
Awesome!
Allies rooting for your distruction are not allies IMHO.
Not our true allies I bet, only NWO/soros types.
Only thing scaring our ‘allies’ is their thought of losing access to our money when the government leadership changes.
BFD.
The Fraud’s apologies, bowing and America Last speeches elated our “allies”.
I’m a Cruz supporter, and this is silly. “America First,” is just a slogan, and the simple intent of it, to put American interests at the forefront of American policy, is a good thing.
Oh no. The world is seeing the gravy train going away. Now they will have to be self reliant? How horrible. It’s like a teenager who doesn’t want to go to college or get a job so he wants to stay in the parents basement and play video games all day. Parents in September after seeing this the summer after high school graduation says enough. You are on your own. We gave you 3 months. No more!
Perfect!
They can consider themselves “on notice” and have until early next year to learn how to behave properly.
At this point in time, I question if USA has true allies. As Trump has indicated, the fools / crooks running the federal government have been letting the countries that we trade with rip off the USA.
Buchanan was brutalized for such a position in the face of the opposition of Europe and Israel.
Hey, if you Germans want to commit national suicide by inviting the Muslim hoards into your country, we're not getting involved!

Hey, German guy ... there won’t be a Germany (maybe Germanistan) in 20 years. Your current government has seen to that. Now go wipe your butt with your left hand you dhimmi idiot.
