In UN speech
Germany's Sigmar Gabriel slams Donald Trump's 'national selfishness'
.
"The motto : 'Our country first' only leads to more national confrontations and less prosperity. In the end, there will only be losers," he said, in a thinly veiled reference to US President Donald Trump's oft-repeated slogan "Make America Great Again."
Gabriel's speech rejected Trump's previous remarks to the world body that encouraged world leaders to primarily consider their country's own interests, reiterating his statement that he will be putting "America first" when it comes to foreign policy.
"We have learned that it was not 'Germany first' that made our country strong and prosperous. Rather, it was only 'European and international responsibility first' that gave us Germans peace and prosperity," Gabriel said.

Wow, that is rich! If I had a nickel for every time a European on OTNOT has called the Germans selfish or overbearing......... In the old days, that speech is what we would label as "the pot calling the kettle black!" RACIST!
The Germans should go back to proselytizing about the virtues of opening their borders.
No worries..... as long as we can all flee to Canada, it'll all work out!
I can stay at your house, right?
You rich guys need to start paying your fair share!
Trudeau will never go Trump on borders, right?
The sky is always falling in your neighborhood dude, you need to get out more.
Come to Hicksville in Appalachia. You'd love it! It's like a remote village in Iranian part of the Canadian Rocky Mountains.
