Foreign policy heavyweights gathered in Munich over the weekend for the annual global security conference.

Germany's President Frank-Walter Steinmeier lobbed direct criticism at the Trump administration's America first mantra, saying it was badly hurting US-European relations.

"'Great again' — even at the expense of neighbors and partners," quipped Steinmeier, who accused the US, China and Russia of making the world more dangerous by stoking mistrust and insecurity.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, on the other hand, had a much rosier view. "I'm happy to report that the death of the transatlantic alliance is grossly over exaggerated. The West is winning. We are collectively winning," Pompeo said in a speech at the conference.

This year's gathering focused on the divisions within the NATO alliance in the era of US President Donald Trump and Brexit.

Nicholas Burns is a former US ambassador to NATO. He's also an unpaid adviser to the Joe Biden campaign. Burns was at the conference and spoke to Marco Werman from Berlin.
