President Trump has to apologize to Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Russia has been selling natural gas to Germany for a long time. There was a time when Russia no longer invaded helpless countries, was a trading partner with The West and was a member of the G8. That all changed when Russia took up it’s old ways and invaded Ukraine casting the country into a war it did not want or was prepared for. Never, at any time, had Germany acted as a puppet to Russia as Trump does today. Germany stood with the USA and Ukraine appalled at Russian aggression and the violation of a decades long treaty.
I apologize to Chancellor Merkel for the childish and embarrassing behavior of Donald Trump, sadly the President of the USA at the hand of Russia.He loves Russia and Vladimir Putin more than he loves the United States of America, this time demonstrated by his lack of knowledge regarding Germany and it’s magnificent leaders and his outrageous statements about suspicions of Germany and gas purchases from Russia.
Over decades of time Germany has faced difficulties with Russia in continuing consistent supplies of Russian gas, sometimes during the coldest of winters even when relations were good. I believe price was an issue from time to time.
Germany is a very valuable ally to the USA and a loyal ally within NATO. Most of the people of the USA do not agree with Mr. Trump. It is unfortunate the delegation accompanying him are to timid to speak up and set the record straight.
