Daily Express: Germany 'will NOT side with US' in war with North Korea in huge blow to Trump
GERMANY would not “automatically” back the US in a war against North Korea, Angela Merkel has sensationally admitted.
The German Chancellor has brushed aside Donald Trump’s threat of “fire and fury” in a shock rebuff of military action against North Korea.
Speaking with German newspaper Handelsblatt, Merkel was quizzed about the escalating crisis engulfing the US and North Korea.
