“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.”

After Trump and Merkel met twice twice during his foreign trip, both at the NATO summit in Brussels and the G-7 gathering in Sicily, she said “Europeans truly have to take our fate into our own hands.”
“The times in which we could rely fully on others — they are somewhat over,” Merkel said at a rally Sunday. “This is what I experienced in the last few days.”
“I can only say that we Europeans must really take our fate into our own hands — of course in friendship with the United States of America, in friendship with Great Britain and as good neighbors wherever that is possible also with other countries, even with Russia.”
