Berlin (AFP) — Germany unleashed a volley of criticism Monday against US President Donald Trump, slamming his "short-sighted" policies that have "weakened the West" and hurt European interests.
The sharp words from Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel came after Trump concluded his first official tour abroad which took him to Saudi Arabia, Israel, Brussels and then Italy for a G7 summit.
They followed Chancellor Angela Merkel's warning on Sunday that the United States and Britain may no longer be completely reliable partners.
Germany's exasperation was laid bare after the G7 summit which wrapped up on Saturday with the US refusing so far to sign up to upholding the 2015 Paris climate accord.
Days earlier, in Saudi Arabia, Trump had presided over the single largest US arms deal in American history, worth $110 billion over the next decade and including ships, tanks and anti-missile systems.
Gabriel said Monday that "anyone who accelerates climate change by weakening environmental protection, who sells more weapons in conflict zones and who does not want to politically resolve religious conflicts is putting peace in Europe at risk".
"The short-sighted policies of the American government stand against the interests of the European Union," he said, judging that "the West has become smaller, at least it has become weaker".

Jihadis invaders can add her to their harems. Why should we care? She clearly will find rape amusing, too. Europe is done.
So says the number one nation working to do away with the West in any recognizable form. This Gabriel person even wants to negotiate with ISIS, instead of fighting them. My God, do we need clearer evidence that we should not be in a mutual defense pack with the arrogant, suicidal, naïve Germans?
It is fascinating how the German government has decided so openly to make an enemy of Trump. I hope he doesn’t forget this. The Germans need to know we’re not Greece; we won’t just roll over and take it because the self-righteous Germans demand it, not under Trump at any rate. Trump is looking out for American interests; too bad no one in Germany cares about German interests.
This is hilarious. Trump has been POTUS for slightly over 100 days. Europe has been declining for years now. They have expedited the decline by unfettered immigration without any serious vetting. But, yep, it’s President Trump’s fault.
Angela Merkel - the woman who will go down in history as single-handedly destroying her own nation.
We need to be careful as they might unlease their Muslim immigrant army against us.
Toxic charity.
Bump to read what Germany’s really mad at.
“When you hear the lamentations and angst of women...... you are winning”
Did you mean to type “...angst of this woman (Merkel)...” which would make sense, or did you really mean the gross Sharia-sounding comment you actually typed?
Maybe the US will have to let in the remnant of hard working native Germans when Germany becomes Nord Arabia.
Take a look at the # 4 comment on this thread by Thibodeaux. It’s truly disturbing, like he’s a psychopath or muslim extremist. And its relatively noob.
just like Obama is a man, intrinsically a weak one
“And its relatively noob.”
Why do you consider the sign-up date relevant when discussing another FReeper’s opinion?
.
Exactly. She's an East German Communist born and bred. Liberal Westerners think she's great. She's been running a con game on us for years.
This from a nation whose ass we had to beat into the ground in two world wars.
Other posters have questioned my opinions and called me a noob when I was relatively new. Sometimes posters will only sign up for a short time to make incite. Check out some of his posts, kind of brutal towards females in a way that seems more Sharia than Christian. What is your opinion or Is it me?
Allowing millions of muslims into their countries strengthened them...../s

Merkel and some of the other European hotshots like to push the climate change mantra to draw attention away from that little detail. They cannot “politically resolve religious conflicts” because by definition religious beliefs are non-negotiable. They have to come up with something else to cover up their cultural suicide, and the fact that they have no clue what to do now.
Dear Germany,
FU. America First!
“Other posters have questioned my opinions and called me a noob when I was relatively new. “

Same here.
I thought it was silly then and I think it is silly now.
An opinion certainly doesn’t become more valid with length of time here.

Granted. I hope you found the substance less silly.
