(Patria) - German Chancellor Olaf Scholz stated that the expansionist rhetoric of newly elected US President Donald Trump, directed against Greenland, Canada, and Panama, causes concern.
Scholz told the congress of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) in Berlin that "uncertain times" lie ahead in relations with Washington, assessing that "certain forces in America" are working "to destroy democratic institutions in the West".
He emphasized that the principle of inviolability of borders applies to every country and that this is the essence of Western values.
At the SPD party congress on Saturday, Scholz was officially nominated as the candidate for chancellor in the upcoming parliamentary elections, and the party's election program was adopted.
The candidate for chancellor from the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), Friedrich Merz, said that criticism will not disturb Trump and that Germany should focus on restoring its own economic and military strength.
According to polls, the center-right CDU/CSU bloc has about 31 percent voter support, the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) about 20 percent, the SPD 17 percent, and the Greens 12 percent.
Trump's ally, American billionaire Elon Musk, recently supported the AfD ahead of the German elections, scheduled for February 23.
