setting himself up as the destroyer of all western values in a form we have never experienced. his strategy is to destroy european values, tolerance and respect between countries based on the mutual tolerance and respect. he must stand in the way of such a man with his ideology of military building. >> chancellor merkel was busy strengthening ties with india for germany. that doesn't amount to a german pivot to india but germany is widening its options. >> let's look at the the you from both sides of the atlantic. we are joined by our guests. christopher, i will begin with you. if this is not a pivot, but does merkel want from india and china?

christopher: there are economic interests involved, trade between germany and india has tripled over the past decade. there was a free trade agreement. angela merkel promised to push hard in brussels to unblock the process. that is the economic interest. for instance, in terms of climate change, both china and india have supported the paris climate agreement. they said that they would stick to that agreement with or without the u.s.. those are words that chancellor merkel was very happy to hear today. she made a point of calling him a reliable partner. >> let's talk about the u.s. a little more. president trump, his latest

politicians doing this as well. how much of that is about this german election or is a genuine? >> it is a bit of both. criticizing american militaries in the way they did today, you saw them talking in my report -- angela merkel has to keep up with that. she had -- that explains the bluntness of her words. she has been softening her tone all day, today. stressing how important relations with washington have been and will continue to be. there is a genuine grievance with chancellor merkel. she spent the last few days --

three days at least in close quarters with the u.s. president and several sides. she is recognizing that it will be very difficult to work with him. >> given that realization, how are americans reacting to this? donald trump has a lot of support among the people who voted for him, are they standing by him throw this -- through all this? >> what is happening today is a lot of people on the left and economists have been referring to this tweak as evidence of this widening gap between the u.s. and europe. that is something that has the left very concerned. they have deep relations. it would be a free-for-all as some economists have been saying. we have to remember that on the left -- on the right, this is
