A victory for Donald Trump in the U.S. presidential election could affect trans-Atlantic ties, Germany's foreign minister said Thursday. "I certainly can't explain how one is supposed to go hand-in-hand with the other," Steinmeier told the newspaper. Trump's description of the United States as a country besieged by its enemies was "grotesque," Steinmeier told the Passauer Neue Presse daily. He also questioned Trump's pledges to "make America great again" while keeping the United States out of conflicts around the world. Asked whether she had experienced any nightmares in which Trump became president, the German leader responded with a "clear no."
