“I was unaware,” President Steinmeier says, criticizing Trump after his confrontation with Zelenski
German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier strongly criticized the US president, describing Donald Trump’s meeting with Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski in the Oval office in the White House.
“Diplomacy fails when negotiating partners are humiliated in front of the world,” Steinmeier said today at the German News Agency (DPA).
“The scene in the White House yesterday left me uneasy. I would never believe that we would ever need to defend Ukraine against the US, “the German president said.
At the same time, he noted that Europeans remain committed to freedom, democracy and the rule of law. “We must prevent Ukraine from accepting submission,” he said.
He also stressed that Germany “urgently needs a strong government” to face the unfolding crisis.
Investigative talks on the formation of a government coalition began last week after the Federal Elections of 23 February.
