BERLIN - Germany wants to develop its ties with India but this should not be at the cost of its trans-Atlantic relationship, Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Tuesday after meeting Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Merkel, trying to repair damage after shocking Washington on Sunday by declaring the era in which Europe could rely on its partners was somewhat over, repeatedly stressed the importance of trans-Atlantic ties. But she also highlighted Germany's history of cooperating with India and China in a global world.

In a thinly veiled dig at the Trump administration, Merkel said "protectionist tendencies" were increasing worldwide and this made it necessary to remain open and ensure conditions for negotiations are fair.

Speaking at a joint news conference with Modi, Merkel reiterated her view that "we need to take our fate in Europe into our own hands".

1. Don't stop.

Please Angela don't soften your tone with this traitor. You are right you can't trust this administration, they are liars and criminals.

Don't let this POS get away with his shit.

The Tiny Cheeto Penis and his idots need to understand the consequences of committing treason and obstrution and collusion. She needs to keep up the reality of America is not a trust worthy "ally".

2. Republicans "protectionist tendencies" ruin Americas tourist industry & Americas trade industry.

China is happy to take over Asian pacific trade dominance, take USAs TPP spot without the pesky human rights stuff and has a growing tourist industry.
