Trump says Germany owes US ‘vast sums of money for defence’

gettyimages-654461746-0-0.jpgPresident Donald Trump has said Germany owes the US “vast sums of money” for defending it.

He made the statement in a series of tweets on Saturday morning.

Mr Trump, after a video appeared to show him ignoring Ms Merkel’s request to shake hands at a photo opportunity, said: “Despite what you have heard from the FAKE NEWS, I had a GREAT meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

“Nevertheless, Germany owes vast sums of money to NATO & the United States must be paid more for the powerful, and very expensive, defense it provides to Germany!”
