President Donald Trump struck a serious blow in his war of words with French President Emmanuel Macron Tuesday, firing back at the French leader for comments he made defending his country’s meager contributions to NATO’s defense budget by reminding Macron about France’s illustrious military history.
To put it succinctly, Trump mocked France for suffering major losses in back-to-back World Wars.
Emmanuel Macron suggests building its own army to protect Europe against the U.S., China and Russia. But it was Germany in World Wars One & Two – How did that work out for France? They were starting to learn German in Paris before the U.S. came along. Pay for NATO or not!
