Trump tweets money is pouring into NATO

President Trump stirred controversy in Brussels when he was caught shoving another politician out of his way.

While in Brussels he berated some of America’s oldest allies, in Riyadh, Trump said he had a “tremendous” time as he signed multi-billion-dollar arms deals with Saudi Arabia’s conservative rulers and took part in a sword dance.

White House spokesman Sean Spicer told reporters that the positions for the photo that the world leaders were preparing for were predetermined and Trump was merely heading for the spot reserved for him.

Another Democrat, Rep. Jared Huffman of California, more subtly critiqued Trump’s decorum at the summit, retweeting a video showing Trump pushing aside another leader.

I really think it was some kind of veiled threat to his European allies and what I think is most disturbing is that he not only repeated the need to fulfil the commitment to give 2 percent of GDP towards defence, but he repeated some of the outrageous comments he has made about European allies owing money to the United States.

The ceremony also was meant to call attention to the fact that the only time North Atlantic Treaty Organisation has invoked its collective defense agreement was on behalf of the United States, after the September 11, 2001, attacks on NY and Washington. But Trump had nothing to say about Article 5.

A giant of an American political figure visiting Europe: charismatic and charming with a thorough grasp of global affairs, totally relaxed with the huge crowd around him. Following the talks, European Council president Donald Tusk said he and the US president agreed on a need to combat terrorism but some differences loomed large. European Council President Donald Tusk said that both sides did not agree on climate, trade and Russian Federation in their first meeting but found common ground on security and fighting extremism and terrorism.

Trump and the European Union have not been on the same page on a number of issues. -European differences to arise on major issues like climate and trade.
