Trump: German U.N. Delegation Laughed At Me When I Warned Them About Buying Russian Energy, "They're Not Smiling Now"
Former President Donald Trump on Saturday at a campaign rally recalled the G7 meeting he attended where he warned then-German Chancellor Angela Merkel about the dangers of allowing the country to rely on Russia for energy needs.
"You see where I'm getting a lot of great press because I told Germany don't make a deal with Russia on the pipeline, and they said, oh, that's so funny," Trump said.
"I actually sent, during the meeting, G7, I sent Angela - Angela Merkel - a white flag of surrender. She said, 'Donald, Donald, but why do you send me this white flag?' I said, 'Angela. Because you're going to surrender.
75% of your energy is coming from Russia. If you look back over the decades, Russia and Germany haven't done too well together. When there's a war. when there's a problem, they'll just turn off Nord Stream 2, and Angela, you're not going to be able to defend yourselves.'
'Oh, that will never happen.' Well, that was about two years ago."
"The only thing is I never thought it was going to happen this fast, and now they're giving me great -- remember I made the speech at the United Nations and the German delegation was all smiling," Trump said.
"They thought it was so funny. They're not smiling now. They're not smiling now. But now gas is $5 and $6 and $7 and it's going to be going up. Think of it."
