Trump's comeback to German rebuke: They will pay more for NATO

May 30, 2017 16:29

A day after Germany slammed Donald Trump for his policies, the US President tweeted, what could be construed as a response: "We have a MASSIVE trade deficit with Germany, plus they pay FAR LESS than they should on NATO & military. Very bad for U.S. This will change."

Germany's foreign minister launched a scathing criticism of Donald Trump on Monday, claiming the US President's actions have "weakened" the West. He also accused the US government of standing "against the interests of the European Union."

This came 24 hours after German Chancellor Angela Merkel declared that Europe could no longer completely rely on traditional allies such as the US and Britain.
