Merkel vs Trump: German leader warns that Europe can no longer rely on Donald's America and says its leaders must take 'destiny into our own hands' after stormy G7 Summit

  • Merkel came to the realization after what she 'experienced in the past few days'
  • The German leader had spent time with Donald Trump during the G7 Summit 
  • 'The times in which we can fully count on others are somewhat over,' she said 
  • Merkel described her frustration with Trump's failure to agree to a deal that would see the US remain in the Paris climate accord as 'very unsatisfactory'
Angela Merkel has dramatically signaled a move away from Donald Trump - saying Europe can no longer rely on America.
It comes just one day after Trump left a stormy G7 Summit in Italy, in which he frustrated Merkel and the other leaders in attendance with his stance towards security, climate change and tax.
The German Chancellor urged the European Union to stick together in the face of new uncertainty stemming from the US and other challenges.
Merkel said Sunday at a campaign event in Bavaria: 'The times in which we can fully count on others are somewhat over, as I have experienced in the past few days.'
