Trump: Macron's call to build a European army against America is offensive

The American president arrived in Paris on Friday for the footnote to the end of World War I, but will be missing at a summit for world co-operation, which begins on the same day. France's “President Macron has just advised Europe to build its army to protect itself from the US, China and Russia. Very insulting, but maybe Europe must first pay its share for NATO, which the United States performs in a wonderful way! ”, written in the Twitter Trump post.

He is expected to meet directly with the French president and participate in the footnote on the anniversary of World War I. However, it will leave this rally before the Peace Forum is held, which is regarded as the main part of this organisation. The French president has said that the purpose of this forum is for miscalculations of world powers in World War I to be further excluded from common decisions in the 20th century.

Otherwise, Trump had planned to organise a military parade in Washington to mark this anniversary, but had cancelled it because he had complained at the high price of organisation, which the city authorities had asked him to do. He will begin his visit with meeting with the French president and visiting a battlefield in World War I. White House officials claimed that Trump's busy schedule did not organise meetings with other leaders, except with France. They are expected to talk about Syria, Iran, Yemen and the future of trade between America and Europe writes the Guardian”
