| German President Frank Steinmeier |
Awarenessinfohub has gathered that in a strongly-worded statement, German President Frank Steinmeier has condemned the US foreign policy under Donald Trump, warning that it could turn the world into a "den of robbers". Steinmeier's comments come amid growing concerns among US allies, including Germany, a key NATO member and host to the largest US base in Europe.
Steinmeier declared that democracy is under attack due to the actions of the Trump administration, citing the US effort to seize control of Venezuelan oil and the abduction of President Nicolas Maduro. "It is about preventing the world from turning into a den of robbers, where the most unscrupulous take whatever they want, where regions or entire countries are treated as the property of a few great powers," Steinmeier said.
The German president's statement refers to the US military attack on Venezuela, which led to the abduction of President Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, on charges of narco-terrorism, corruption, and drug trafficking. The US has also stated that it will control the sale of Venezuelan oil "indefinitely" and decide how the proceeds are used.
Additionally, Trump's threat to take control of Greenland has sparked concerns among European leaders, who have declared support for the island and Denmark. The White House Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, said Trump and his national security team have "actively discussed" buying Greenland to deter Russian and Chinese aggression in the Arctic region.
Steinmeier's comments underscore the growing unease among European leaders over shifts in US foreign policy and their implications for global stability. The German president emphasized the need for influential nations, including Brazil and India, to defend and uphold the existing global order.
The US actions in Venezuela and Greenland have also been criticized by other European leaders, including German Vice Chancellor Lars Klingbeil, who called the capture of Maduro "very worrying". The German Greens party has accused Trump of "imperialism in its purest form".
As the world grapples with the implications of Trump's foreign policy, Steinmeier's statement serves as a stark reminder of the importance of upholding democratic values and international law. The international community will be watching closely to see how the US responds to these concerns and whether it will recommit to its role as a champion of global democracy and stability.
The implications of Trump's foreign policy are far-reaching, with concerns that it could undermine global democracy and stability. Steinmeier's statement highlights the need for European leaders to work together to defend democratic values and international law.
