“President Macron has just suggested that Europe build its own army to protect itself against the United States, China and Russia,” Trump tweeted as Air Force One landed at the international airport. ‘Orly, near Paris.

“Very insulting but perhaps Europe should first pay its share to NATO that the United States subsidize widely!” Added the US president.

This is Donald Trump’s second visit to France since his arrival at the White House, after that of July 14, 2017, which he regularly discusses with great enthusiasm.

In his tweet, the US president was referring to Tuesday’s statements by Macron who called for the creation of a “real European army” to better protect the Old Continent.
