NATO Allies Spooked by Trump

Jonathan Swan: “This week’s NATO meeting in London will be “a celebratory leaders’ meeting,” according to a White House talking point ahead of President Trump’s trip. But European officials aren’t betting on it, and Trump has been privately complaining about France’s President Emmanuel Macron.”

“Three senior administration officials told me Trump has been deeply annoyed by Macron, who recently told The Economist that ‘what we are currently experiencing is the brain death of NATO’ and that the United States under Trump’s leadership appears to be ‘turning its back on us.'”

Said one official: “He’s been down on Macron for a long while.”
