BERLIN A combative Chancellor Angela Merkel set herself on a collision course with President Trump and his America first agenda on Thursday, predicting very difficult talks over climate change and trade when she hosts a summit meeting of 20 global leaders next week.Speaking before Parliament on a day when she also gathered European Union leaders in Berlin to form a common front, the German leader made no bones about the obvious disagreement with the United States.
Whoever believes the problems of this world can be solved by isolationism and protectionism is making a tremendous error, Ms. Merkel said, in what will most likely be her final address before Parliament before closing out her third term in office.
