Merkel slams 'frightening' US attack on German cars

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has described US moves to declare European car imports "a threat to national security" as "frightening".
Her comments came as United States and European powers voiced sharply differing views on issues from Mideast security to trade Saturday, laying bare a deep trans-Atlantic rift in the era of President Donald Trump.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel and other European leaders at a three-day international security conference voiced dismay at a range of Trump decisions deemed hostile to America's NATO allies.

In one awkward moment Friday, US Vice President Mike Pence said he was bringing greetings from Trump, only to be met with stony silence from a room full of national leaders, ministers and generals.

Merkel said a looming new shot expected in a trade war -- Washington readying to declare European car imports a "national security threat" -- was "frightening", speaking at the Munich Security Conference.

[...]

On the trade dispute, she insisted that in Germany "we are proud of our cars" and explained that the biggest plant of luxury brand BMW was not in Bavaria but in South Carolina, from where it exports vehicles to China.

If German cars are a threat to the USA, shouldn’t the Americans who are working at German var factories in the US quit their jobs? Isn’t it treason to work for the enemy?

Also. Pence was met with silence. Merkel’s speech was met with standing ovations from the world’s leaders. The decline of America is happening now.

National security risk: every German car has a hidden bomb inside!

Or
every German car is a transformer and once we have enough of them in your country we will attack!

Maybe Trump can ask the King of Saudi Barbaria and IS if they can open up a Camel breeding farm in the US instead, when BMW leaves.

German automakers fake fuel emissions tests. The environment is a top priority for Trump, and his targeted approach is to single out foreign olluters like the Germans.

If threats to the environment aren't national security threats, then what is, Merkel? Straight white couples with children who speak English (German)?

Okay, but shouldn’t the Americans who are working in German car factories quit their jobs then if it is a threat to national security?

Also, if the environment is a top priority for Trump then why does he believe that climate change is a ”Chinese hoax” and why did he pick Andrew Wheeler – who believes that climate change is 'not the greatest crisis' – to run the Environmental Protection Agency?

”Asked if he agreed with the president’s past statements that climate change is a Chinese “hoax”, Wheeler said he would “not use the hoax word, myself”.”

But Wheeler said he would “not call it the greatest crisis”.

Maybe the greatest crisis are all the Mexicans who are invading the country to rape and murder Americans.

Trump has arranged to sell France 5,000 septic tanks and as soon as the French learn how to drive them they are going to attack Germany and wipe out all their car assembly plants.

You have an extremely inflated sense of your self-importance. Europe's remaining influence is entirely dependent on being able to coast on the power that you used to have more than a century ago. Once that finally fades away, no one will care what any of you have to say whatsoever.

‪When US Vice President Mike Pence in his speech said that Iran is planning a new Holocaust, you know that his speech was written by Netanyahu. This is where your power lies now – outsourced to zealots and extremists in the Middle East.

Female German referee causes Bundesliga broadcast to be canceled in Iran

Iranian state TV did not broadcast a Bundesliga soccer match because of the presence of a woman as referee, media say. The Islamic country censors the showing of women in "revealing" clothes such as football shorts.
