Reference News Network, January 9 report. According to Reuters, January 8 report, German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier strongly criticized the U.S. foreign policy of President Trump, urging the world not to let the world order collapse into a "den of thieves," where the audacious act without restraint.

Steinmeier made an unusually strong speech, apparently referring to actions such as Venezuela's President Maduro being forcefully controlled by the United States over the weekend. He said that global democracy is facing unprecedented attacks.

The report pointed out that although the role of the German president is basically ceremonial, his words still carry weight, and he has more freedom to express his views than political figures.

Steinmeier said at a seminar on the evening of the 7th: "The values of our most important partner, the United States, have collapsed. The United States once helped establish this world order."

He said: "We must prevent the world from becoming a den of thieves, otherwise the most audacious people will act without restraint, and some regions or entire countries will be seen as the property of a few major powers." (Translated by Liu Zongya)
