德国总理默茨呼吁建立一种新的、更平等的跨大西洋伙伴关系，这种关系应基于共同利益，而非欧 洲和美国已不再共享的价值观。 他在今年慕尼黑安全会议的开幕演讲中发表了上述评论，这番话是自美国总统特朗普开启第二任期以来 美欧之间持续一年多的疏远和日益加剧的不信任的集中体现。 默茨重申，他已开始与法国总统马克龙就建立欧洲核威慑力量进行初步会谈，以补充美国在该地区的核 保护伞。这鲜明地体现了西方联盟内部的紧张关系。 此举暴露了欧洲对美国保护其北约伙伴这一承诺的可信度深感怀疑。 自上任以来，特朗普已对从欧盟和该地区其他国家进口的商品征收高额关税，并在上个月放弃之前曾威 胁要吞并丹麦所属的格陵兰岛。他的政府还支持了从德国到英国的反对派民族主义政党。 默茨说："'让美国再次伟大'（MAGA）运动的文化战争不属于我们。当言论被用来攻击人类尊严和宪 法时，言论自由就应该到此为止。我们不相信关税和保护主义，我们相信自由贸易。" 默茨的评论是对美国副总统万斯一年前在该会议上讲话的迟来回应。万斯当时说，欧洲已经背弃了言论 自由等西方价值观，并暗示美国可能不再保护那些将极右翼政党排除在政府之外的欧洲国家。 德国陷入困境的经济也高度依赖国际贸 ...

第62届慕尼黑安全会议2月13日在德国开幕。欧美跨大西洋紧张关系在本届慕安会上备受关注。德国总 理默茨在当天的致辞中表示，跨大西洋关系"不再理所当然"，欧美之间已出现深刻裂痕，欧洲应尽快摆 脱对美国的过度依赖。默茨表示，欧洲"不相信关税和保护主义，坚定支持自由贸易、气候协定和世界 卫生组织等，坚信全球性问题只能通过合作来解决"。默茨还"喊话"美国称，"在大国竞争的时代，即使 是美国也不够强大到能独自应对一切。"他呼吁"共同修复并重建跨大西洋信任"，并称"欧洲人正在尽自 己的责任"。 ...

【德国总理：欧洲完全可以维护自身的利益和价值观】智通财经2月13日电，德国总理默茨当地时间13 日在慕尼黑安全会议开幕式上发表讲话时表示，欧洲并非没有机遇，欧洲完全可以"果断、团结、自信 地"维护自身的利益和价值观。默茨表示，欧洲和美国之间从一开始就出现了分歧。欧洲不信奉关税和 保护主义，信奉自由贸易，全球挑战唯有携手才能解决。加入北约不仅是欧洲的竞争优势，也是美国的 竞争优势。因此，让欧美携手修复和重振跨大西洋信任。此外，他正在与法国总统马克龙就关于建立欧 洲联合核威慑力量的问题进行对话。这并非是要放弃北约，而是要在北约内部建立一个强大、自给自足 的欧洲支柱。在谈到丹麦格陵兰岛问题时，默茨称丹麦完全可以信任欧洲，欧洲盟友也会坚定地站在丹 麦一方。（央视新闻） 转自：智通财经 ...
