Donald Trump printed out made-up £300bn Nato invoice and handed it to Angela Merkel

Angela Merkel will reportedly ignore Donald Trump’s attempts to extricate £300bn from Germany for what he deems to be owed contributions to Nato.
The controversial President is said to have had an 'invoice' printed out outlining the sum estimated by his aides as covering Germany's unpaid contributions for defence.
Said to be presented during private talks in Washington, the move has been met with criticism from German and Nato officials.
Mr Trump reportedly instructed aides to calculate how much German spending fell below two per cent over the past 12 years, then added interest.
Estimates suggest the total came to £300bn, with official figures citing the shortfall to be around £250bn, and with £50bn in interest added on.
The Times quoted a German government minister as saying the move was “outrageous”.
The unnamed minister said: “The concept behind putting out such demands is to intimidate the other side, but the chancellor took it calmly and will not respond to such provocations.”
And the paper quoted a source close to Mrs Merkel saying she has “ignored the provocation”.
The bill follows a disastrous meeting between the pair earlier this month, characterised by Mr Trump’s refusal to shake his peer’s hand.

The sad part is that Germany is basically the purse of the EU.

They should pay their fair share.

I haven't heard he refused to shake her hand. I kind of doubt it. But it's hilarious if he did.

Trump wasting no time doing work for Putin
Not going to save him though.
He's a puppet being played by a master.
Once American intelligence sources close in on Trump and his campaign associates, Putin will roll over on Trump with God knows what to humiliate Trump and the United States.
Huge blow to democracy that couldn't have been achieved without the ignorant cooperation of Trumpettes.
America cannot continue to be the leader of the world with so many idiots living and voting here.

When you have to prop up failed socialist utopias all over the continent it's hard to "pay your fair share".
Now that's what I call a reset button!

Either pay up or don't expect to be in charge of the EU.
We didn't create the EU to allow Germany to rule it under their interests, we created it to keep their arse in line and aligned with our interests.
