But ahead of that, Trump said Tuesday that recent comments from Macron that NATO is experiencing "brain death" were "very nasty" and "very insulting" to the alliance's other 28 members. "Nobody needs NATO more than France," he said.
"It's a very dangerous statement for them to make," Trump also said as his NATO visit now risks being overshadowed by his meeting with Macron.

Hata walie, wacheke, watukane, wapigane...no one is going to continue freeloading on US of A as long as that guy is in charge, not illegal immigrants or refugees, not china, not even europe. Looking at all Trump haters, a pattern starts to emerge... everytime I see someone attacking Trump, I can usually deduce with some level of confidence that they are freeloaders of sorts.
Better thing to do with 2%! Exactly. NATO.You still don't get it, do you?
Fact check Drumpf, always. His first impulse is to lie.

Nobody 'freeloads' on the USA. The European countries have better things to do with 2%, such as health and education.
They have refused to recognize an orange fool who subsidizes Putin and Erdogan, and they denied him the chance to divert attention from his impeachment hearings.

Food stumps and welfare
This is from your type of media...CNBC...
There are no freeloaders in the US of A?
- Trump administration rules that could deny green cards to immigrants who use Medicaid, food stamps, housing vouchers or other forms of public assistance are going into effect, potentially making it more difficult for some to get legal status in the United States.
- Federal law already requires those seeking green cards and legal status to prove they will not be a burden to the U.S., or what's called a "public charge," but the new rules, made public on Monday, detail a broader range of programs that could disqualify them.
- Much of President Donald Trump's effort to crack down on illegal immigration has been in the spotlight, but the rule change is one of the most aggressive efforts to restrict legal immigration.
Eish.
The president feels Europe needs to spend more on defence in preparation for the next armed conflict. Only Russia is doing it in Europe. All other countries are spending money on health and welfare. Saa hiyo China are arming themselves to the teeth. So Trumo is saying kama hamtaki kugharamia jeshi, mkae tu hapo sisi lazima tujipange.
