Fresh off of his trip to Paris, President Donald J. Trump took to Twitter criticizing France’s President Emmanuel Macron and his calls to build a European army. He also commented on trade matters and Macron’s low approval rating.

Macron’s calls for a European army is strange considering that much of Europe doesn’t even want to pay their fair share as required by the NATO alliance.

Macron’s calls have also been echoed by Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel. So as nationalism is rising throughout Europe, the two main globalist leaders of Europe think they can put together a European army.

But what’s the point of NATO if European leaders are demanding a new European army and won’t pay their existing NATO obligations? NATO is centered solely around the United States. And without American military power, NATO isn’t much of a force.

Trump should use the fact that European countries aren’t paying their bills and these new calls for a European army to leave the alliance. This arrangement is ridiculous and benefits these European countries far more than the United States.

There’s no reason for America to continue subsidizing the military needs of these European nations.
