Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleGerman Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier says the outcome of the US presidential election is “different than most people in Germany would have wanted, but of course we have to respect it.”
He says Trump’s victory means “nothing is going to get easier. A lot will get harder.”
But he tells reporters in Berlin that it is important to maintain good trans-Atlantic relations, which he likened to “the foundations of the West.”
He says Germany would seek dialogue with the Trump administration, but warns that American foreign policy would likely become “less predictable.”
