Angela Merkel hasn’t forgotten Donald Trump's divisive campaign

German Chancellor Angela Merkel issued a response to Donald Trump’s election as US President saying that their relationship would only succeed if he upheld “the dignity of man, independent of origin”.
“Germany and America are connected by values of democracy, freedom, and respect for the law and the dignity of man, independent of origin, skin colour, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or political views.
“I offer the next President of the United States close cooperation on the basis of these values.
“The partnership with the United States is and remains a foundation of German foreign policy.”
