German Chancellor Merkel takes aim at Trump in ‘tear down walls’ speech – Politico

The Politico released a news report conveying harsh comments by the German Chancellor Angela Merkel at the Harvard University commencement address.

Even if Chancellor Merkel didn’t utter the name Donald Trump but her comments concerning protectionism, trade wars, and building walls point to the actions of the US President.

Key Points:

• Protectionism and trade conflicts jeopardize free international trade and thus the very foundations of our prosperity.
• Our way of thinking and our actions have to be multilateral rather than unilateral, global rather than national, outward-looking rather than isolationist.
• Answers even to difficult questions, requires us not to describe lies as truth and truth as lies.
