Germany hits out at Donald Trump after he labels Nato 'obsolete' and threatens car makers with 35pc tariffs

Mr Trump's remarks about Nato have caused concern among officials at both Nato and the EU.

Frank-Walter Steinmeier, the German foreign minister, said Mr Trump’s remarks had caused “confusion and anxiety” both in Nato and in the EU.

A meeting of EU foreign leaders later on Monday would “probably be influenced, if not dominated” by Mr Trump’s remarks, he said.

The interview has reignited fears among several Nato countries that the US could split the alliance under Mr Trump’s leadership.
