German Chancellor Angela Merkel announced Sunday she’ll seek a fourth term in elections next fall. Merkel has already served 11 years as Germany’s chancellor. She faces increasing pressure from both the left and the right wing in Germany, which has been emboldened by the anti-European Union Brexit vote in Britain, the rise of far-right-wing politician Marine Le Pen in France and Donald Trump’s presidential victory in the United States.
