Returning from Paris, US President Donald Trump immediately began to throw critical lightning at the address of whom it is still unclear who - the head of the White House said that Washington spends a lot of money for the sake of security of other states, while losing huge funds in trade with these countries. His grievances, he, as always, splashed on the web. "We (presumably, the US - ed) pay most of the costs of military defense of other countries, hundreds of billions of dollars, for the great honor of losing hundreds of billions of dollars in trade with these countries. I told them (probably the leaders of other countries) that this situation can no longer continue ... A huge amount of money is spent on protecting other countries, and we get only trade deficits and losses, "wrote his displeasure at three posts on Twitter. The American leader summed up the situation ultimatum: “The time has come for these very rich countries to either pay the United States for their large-scale military support or to defend themselves”. According to him, trade must be "free and fair". At the same time, Trump did not specify which particular countries his message was about.. One can only assume that all his lightning flew in the direction of French President Emmanuel Macron, who seemed to have enraged his American counterpart just before the latter’s visit to ceremonial events in the capital of the Fifth Republic, when the Frenchman said it was necessary to create a "common European army" to protect Europe from "China , Russia and even the United States ". Past the master of the Oval Office, this attack did not pass by. He promptly “put” the Frenchman who imagines himself as Napoleon for his proposal and, more likely, for the fact that the States were on a par with China and the Russian Federation.

"French President Macron said that Europe should create its own armed forces to protect itself from the United States, China and Russia. This is very offensive, but perhaps Europe should first contribute its fair share to the financing of NATO, which the United States is significantly sponsoring! "- Trump wrote on the web literally on the eve of his arrival in Paris, November 9. The next day, Macron had the “happiness” to negotiate with Trump, and the media closely followed the behavior of the two leaders and, of course, noted that the US president no longer removes dandruff from his French counterpart, but he actively stroked and patted the American on his arm, then for some reason. Smoothing his rhetoric about creating a European army, Musyu Macron recognized Trump's reproaches - Europe should increase its share of defense spending. He called this requirement fair.
