German leader Angela Merkel said that multilateralism was under threat and said that protectionism is not the answer to the world's problems.
"Frankly speaking, the country I have the honor to represent and where I am chancellor has difficulties. And polarization is something that we see in our country as well, which we haven't had for decades," Merkel said.
She attributed increasing populism and polarization to both the euro zone crisis and migration crisis seen in Europe over the last few years following an influx of refugees, but said Germany would not shrink from the world stage.
"Germany wishes to be a country that lends its contribution in the future to solve the problems of the world together, we think that shutting ourselves off and isolating ourselves will not lead us into a good future. Protectionism is not the proper answer," she said.

The Germans haven’t laid waste to Europe in over 70 years and are restless.
I don’t like the phrase “World Order”. It reminds me of a former German leader.
I think you mean why is Germany such a chained tiger in the world and how did Angela Merkel make her way onto the tiger’s back
Could this be worse than Hitler?
Frau Merkel.
When der Merkel says we own the globe and space,
We Heil!____, Heil!____, right in der Merkel’s face.
Not to love der Merkel is a big disgrace,
So we Heil!____, Heil!____, right in der Merkel’s face.
Ja, where is the bad news, Mutti Merkel?
Commie witch.
How does she get those words out under her hijab?
“Protectionism is not the proper answer...”
Angela - in some situations, you might be right. But look at the hundreds of thousands you have allowed into Germany. You will be the one responsible for the loss of Germany to those who do not care about it...no one else. The same can be said for England and France.
Steel. Trump has talked about our loss of factories and she is afraid that their subsidized product dumps in the US are going to end soon.
Merkel has a destiny with a lamp post.
She has turned her own country into a shithole.
The only reasonable thing for a leader in her spot to do is make every other country into a shithole, also.
YAY!
The fat commie frau probably has a date with a lamppost in her future if past euro behavior is annindication.
Channeling Soros quite well.
“German leader Merkel says the current world order is under threat”
Damn straight, Angie.
Merkel implies it is the fault of the West and it is upon us to make it right to muslims, Marxists and Baath/Hezbollah/Hamas Nazis
Thank you, President Trump!
The Donald: "Shut up, fatty."
