DONALD Trump has today opened the Nato summit with a blistering attack on Germany over its defence spending and an oil and gas contract with Russia.
Speaking at a breakfast with Nato chief Jens Stoltenberg, Trump claimed Germany was “a captive” of the Kremlin due to an import deal with Russia.
He added it was “totally inappropriate” that Germany was paying billions of dollars to Russia for oil and gas while spending little over 1 percent of its GDP on defence.
The President’s attendance at the Nato is highly anticipated following months of tough talk on members’ contribution spending.
All members of the alliance are obligated to spend 2 percent of GDP on defence, though many do not, and Trump is expected to demand increases.
Allies are also concerned about what will happen at his scheduled sit down with Putin next week if he doesn’t leave the summit with his demands met.

trunp is correct on his prediction….on Russian gas …..
Russia make their gas as weapon.
And this age to amazingly well
This aged well..
Play this in 2024 when its election time
God bless this hero!! Funny how everything he said turns out to be true. Russia will cut 40% of the gas delivered to Germany on the 15-6-22 I get it though, he hurt you with his tweets.
Ask yourself what a globalist is … Trump was no globalist.
trump : I TOLD YA SO
Germany closed down its nuclear energy and is now firing up coal plants because Russia is squeezing them on their dependency for Russian oil. So much for their pie in the sky green energy plans. Trump 100% saw the big picture.
Germany declared state of emergency over lack of gas
trump was 100% right
The U.S. is protecting Germany and France 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Remember when Macron said, "the NATO is braindead". Europe and Global socialism is the biggest enemy to the emperical capitalistic U.S. congress. Putin and China hates EU ideology as well. That's why there is the lock down in Western liberal Shanghai, to purge the city and scare foreigners out of China.
Trump is direct and to the point. He won't stop for this unity and diversity crap.
Shows how weak NATO is without America. Europe incapable of protecting itself until Germany steps up. Since it doesn’t step up it has compromised the security of Europe by its enthusiastic trading policy with Russia. My goodness, how prophetic was Trump.
Just as good as this one is the Trump speech to the UN where he makes the same point, and the German delegation is seen smirking and laughing.
Scholz and Steinmeier have at least had the decency to admit they were wrong, but Merkel is still proudly defiant, hiding behind the classic leftist excuse, "But my intentions were good".
Turns out he was right. Why buy oil from your so call enemy?
Russia has cut off gas to Europe!! Can't believe how right he was!!!😁
And how stupid does Germany and NATO look now.
Every news outlet showed this and betrayed him as a Bully!!! President Trump told it like it was and was not afraid to step on feet!!! He actually cared about American and the American 🇺🇸 people…. And our country still treats him like dirt… I would do anything to have him back in the White House.. Just look what Biden and the green left has done to this country in less then 2 years…. Its disgraceful…..
Just in "Germany — which gets 66% of their gas from Russia — is now so desperate for energy that they're dimming street lights at night, restricting hot water use, and shutting down swimming pools." Wow! he's right again.
Wow trump sounds like a russian stooge – some lefty clown 🤡
… and here we are 4 years later. Trump was spot on.
Donald J. Trump was the BEST president EVER in the recent history of the Unites States of America for one single reason… He was NOT a politician!!! He was just a businessman making clear business for his country.
Trump was spot on here, knew exactly what was going to happen. Russia clearly in the driving seat now and will blackmail half of Europe for gas and oil.
They laughed at him when he said it, but he was right and boy are Germany going to pay for it now.
this is brilliant!!!!
The German guy had no real explanation other than to say we’re stronger together. What he means is – we need the US to be big brother while German acts the fool on energy.
Trump be like, I told you so
People would rather be soothed with lies than hear the harsh reality. Another W for Trump. Big L for Germany
