Steinmeier Attacks Trump's Policy: 'Prevent the World from Becoming a Den of Robbers'

The President of Germany, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, strongly criticized the foreign policy of the Trump administration, warning of the danger of the world turning into a “den of robbers.” Steinmeier expressed his concern about the collapse of the values that the US promoted in building the global order, citing examples such as Russia's annexation of Crimea and the US military operation in Caracas. He emphasized the need for active intervention in threatening situations and called on countries like Brazil and India to contribute to protecting the global order, warning that inaction will lead to a situation where the strongest impose their will.
