Trump drama turns NATO gathering into a diplomatic soap opera

Trump's visit was marked by showdowns between leaders, lengthy and freewheeling appearances by the President before the media, an abrupt news conference cancellation and an extraordinary row over a viral video. Trump's relationship with NATO Trump has long challenged and pushed NATO members to spend more on defense and has even suggested the alliance is obsolete. Ahead of the summit he successfully cut the US contribution to NATO's budget.

, begins with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson asking Macron why he was late."Is that why you were late?" Johnson asked.Macron nodded, as Trudeau replied,"He was late because he takes a ... 40-minute press conference at the top."Trudeau admitted Wednesday that he and other leaders in the conversation were speaking about Trump's lengthy press availabilities during the summit.

That Canadian president is one handsome man. Swoon! LoL! Why can’t he be our president? He looks like the second counselor in the bishopric in my ward. I looked him up on the YouTube and he is a great speaker too. Time for Bev to move to Canada. handsome lighttheworld

This is what happens when you elect a TV show host to lead the country.

Hell yeah. now it's a party! woohoo

Regardless of Trudeau's comment, the fact that Trump would call Trudeau 'two-faced' in a press conference, then brag about it later is proof of his abject unfitness for the office of the president. Vote him out & the GOP when they fail to remove on impeachmemt.

That’s what happens when a country elects a child ! The US is the laughing stock of the planet !

It’s called putting America first

Showdown.. Europe is on the brink of a recession and the U.S. is thriving

Say what you want but Trump exposes the media as fakenews, and world leaders who are perceived to be noble gentlemen for what they really are just petty two-faced backstabbing cowards.

You have two globalist sissies who do not like the incredible power on the world stage President Trump has. No big deal. Just like Obama, these lightweights are mere puppets for some really bad people.

Trump and Boris Johnson should definitely Give Tuition on How to Be Diplomatic to all “So Called Politicians” - Therefore Europeans are ashamed of being led by Immature, Lack of Substance / Void Reps. At least they should be guided by Rock n Roll and Culture.

God bless our POTUS! How refreshing to have a president standing up for what is right, & not being intimidated by globalists!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🙄🙄

All countries should listen to the fact-finding group about the chemical attack on Syria. Israel has acted in violation of the law.
