German media: German foreign policy experts criticize the U.S. new national security strategy as "might makes right" bullying.

Reference News Network, December 7 report: According to the website of Germany's "Daily Mirror" on December 6, after the Trump administration released the new "National Security Strategy," German foreign policy experts have called on the federal government to further distance itself from the United States.

The report said that Adis Ahmetovic, the foreign policy spokesperson of the Social Democratic Party parliamentary group, said: "The U.S. European policy agenda aims to weaken democratic forces, thereby weakening Europe." He warned: "President Trump and his advisors want to quickly establish an authoritarian system on the European continent, just as they did in the United States."

Ahmetovic said that although the United States remains Germany and the EU's security and economic partner, it is no longer the reliable ally it used to be.

Christian Democratic Union (CDU) foreign policy expert Roderich Kiesewetter said: "Europe has been downgraded and become a victim of American power politics bullying. Therefore, the United States is no longer a values partner of Europe, but a rival."

Agneska Brug, vice-chair of the Green Party parliamentary group, also warned: "Once we yield to Trump's bullying tactics, we will face more contempt and extortion afterwards. If the United States abandons Ukraine, there will be real conflicts between the United States and Europe."

The report said that German Chancellor Merkel has not yet commented on this. Obviously, the German government does not want to deepen the emerging rift with the United States through an intense reaction. (Translated by Nie Litao)
