It was "inappropriate" for Trump to "be stepping in to the politics of other countries in a quite direct manner. And he'll have to speak to that -- as of Friday, he's responsible for that relationship," Kerry told CNN's Christiane Amanpour in an exclusive interview on Monday.
Kerry was speaking after Trump's interview in the Times of London and Bild where he said NATO was obsolete and that the German Chancellor Angela Merkel had made a "catastrophic" mistake in accepting one million refugees.
    In the interview, Trump also predicted that more countries would leave the European Union.

    Speaking to CNN, Kerry described Merkel as "one of the strongest leaders in Europe" and "most important players with respect to where we are heading."
