Donald Trump on Tuesday launched another attack against Emmanuel Macron over the French president’s call for a European army, a proposal the US leader earlier had dubbed “insulting.”
“Emmanuel Macron suggests building its own army to protect Europe against the US, China and Russia.
But it was Germany in World Wars One & Two - How did that work out for France?” Trump tweeted.
“They were starting to learn German in Paris before the US came along,” Trump said. “Pay for NATO or not!” The Republican president has repeatedly lambasted European allies for not spending enough on their militaries, particularly Germany.
Macron had angered Trump by saying Europe needed its own army and listing the US along with Russia and China as a threat to European security.
