Merkel Doesn’t Tweet, But She Keeps an Eye on Trump’s Twitter Feed

German Chancellor Angela Merkel said her view of globalization “differs very sharply” from Donald Trump’s and called on Europe to assert its interests on free trade and combating climate change.

Less than two weeks before hosting the U.S. president and other Group of 20 leaders for a summit, Merkel spelled out divergences while voicing hope that the G-20 will nonetheless produce “a few results.” In a panel discussion on Monday, Merkel also revealed that she and Trump discussed his failure to shake her hand at a White House photo opportunity and that she occasionally searches for the president’s tweets.
