Merkel sides with US congresswomen and rejects Trump remarks | DW News

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has held her annual summer press conference in Berlin today. She answered a variety of questions, ranging from concerns over her health to the German economy and Brexit. Merkel was especially blunt when adding her voice to the international condemnation of US President Trump's attacks on a group of non-white Democratic congresswomen and said that she "stands in solidarity with the congresswomen he attacked."

Merkel does not understand a Western leader who loves his country. She is more comfortable undermining Germany's future - especially its own cultural well-being. DW understands this well, because DW helps Merkel's cause in every way it can..
