Berlin (dpa) German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Monday fired back at US president-elect Donald Trump's denunciation of her liberal stance on refugees and his dismissal of the NATO military alliance as "obsolete."
"I think we Europeans hold our destiny in our own hands," she said.
"We know what his position is," Merkel said in response to Trump slamming her refugee policy as a "catastrophic mistake."
"My position is also known," she added.
In an interview with Germany's Bild and the Times of London, Trump also threatened to impose a hefty tax on German carmakers for selling vehicles in the US market that were produced elsewhere and warned that other nations would follow Britain in leaving the European Union.
"We 27 members should stand together," Merkel told reporter in Berlin, arguing that Europe's economic strength and institutions would help it tackle tough problems such as terrorism.

It's not as if that's was not what they were doing all along...
They are choosing to submit to Islam.
That may have negative consequences for us long-term, but it will become a problem for ethnic Germans very soon.
That’s right, and I hope they vote her right out of office.
And, if Europe has ANY sense, it will choose a destiny away from the imported rapists it now has.
They can save themselves this time.
“I think we Europeans hold our destiny in our own hands,” she said.
I can’t disagree with that. Merkel’s destiny is an Islamic Europe.
The next wave of U.S immigration will come from disaffected white Europeans.
More like the elites will.
The EU was foisted on the people.
We’re talking about Germany. Remember nazi germany, third reich, WWII and all that stuff. I’ll bet that eventually they will get tired of her and her muslim friends and there will be a severe backlash. Or maybe the Germans have been beaten down so much that Germans do not produce testosterone anymore. I guess time will tell.
"Listen here Mr. Trump - We Europeans will choose our own destiny.
And don't you lousy Americans try to back out of NATO or cut your
financial aid to Europe either!"
Was she holding her arm straight out palm down when she said this?
EU will come crawling to us for help within 1-2 years once the ISIS rebels assemble and start taking over neighborhoods too afraid to “persecute muslims”. They’ll hide in every nook and cranny and cry foul at each crackdown.
They’re stocking up weapons and ammo in every mosque as we speak
Some could probably claim refugee status based upon a reasonable fear of violence as legitimately as many of the claims being made now in the US.
They’ve already chosen their own destiny and it’s islam.
Put your gun to your own head, beyotch
Leave the rest of your battered countrymen alone
I am so glad the Chancellor of Europe has spoken.
Call me crazy but I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump spearheaded a new alliance of Eastern European Countries with Russia and the United States, unified as a counter-weight to the ongoing Islamification of Western Europe.
Merkel: “We can control our own destiny”
Trump: “So can we, buh-bye”
