Trump Says Macron's Call for European Army is ''Insulting''

Reuters

Donald Trump has blasted Emmanuel Macron's idea for the European Union to build an army to protect itself from the US as "insulting".

The US President tweeted: "President Macron of France has just suggested that Europe build its own military in order to protect itself from the US, China and Russia.

"Very insulting, but perhaps Europe should first pay its fair share of NATO, which the US subsidises greatly!"

It comes three days after the French President said the US is as big a threat to the EU as Russia and China and called for a "true European army" to defend the bloc. In an extraordinary attack on the US president, Macron lumped Washington together with Moscow and Beijing as Europe’s biggest foes.
