translated from Spanish: Merkel warns US of risks of unilateral international policy over Iran conflict

German Chancellor Angela Merkel warned on Saturday against the exercise of a one-sided international policy in a veiled reference to the United States and its escalating tension with Iran.” Mistrust is already almost a policy of government in some places,” Merkel said during the Congress of the German Evangelical Church in the city of Dortmund. “Without the basis of trust, international politics cannot be successful,” the German chancellor warned. Merkel’s statements were received with great applause by the attendees of the Congress. When Merkel approached the lectern, the crowd filling the place clapped standing.” There has to be a political solution and that’s what we’re working on,” he said. In addition, the German representative has pointed out that the Iran-U.S. conflict will be dealt with at the G20 leaders’ meeting scheduled for June 28 and 29 in Osaka, Japan. The issue will be addressed at least bilaterally. The 37th Congress of the German Evangelical Church is held until This Sunday and some 118,000 visitors are expected to attend nearly 2,400 events. The meeting presents an extensive program ranging from concerts, bible studies and workshops to roundtables with German politicians.
