Photo: DPAEurope "must take its fate into its own hands" faced with a western alliance divided by Brexit and Donald Trump's presidency, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Sunday. I've experienced that in the last few days," Merkel told a crowd at an election rally in Munich, southern Germany. While Germany and Europe would strive to remain on good terms with America and Britain, "we have to fight for our own destiny," Merkel went on. Merkel on Saturday labelled the result of the "six against one" discussion "very difficult, not to say very unsatisfactory". Polls show the chancellor, in power since 2005, on course to be re-elected for a fourth term.
