"Russia is an enemy in some ways.China is certainly an enemy, economically.But that does not mean that they are bad, does not mean anything, it means that they are competitors. do well and we want to do well. "

Faced with the surprise of interviewing him in Brussels as an" enemy ", the occupant of the White House continued, saying that the block was "too difficult". "My parents were born in areas of the EU.My mother was from Scotland, my father was from Germany.I love these countries.I respect the leaders of these countries.But in the sense of trade, they really benefited from us, "he said.

Amidst the criticism of EU members who are members of North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and were paying their bills, "referring to defense spending Trump turned specifically to Germany, with whom he claimed to have "a big problem. "

" Germany has a gas pipeline agreement with Russia, where they will pay billions and billions of dollars a year for energy. And I say that it's not good, is not it fair, because you're supposed to fight (to defend) someone, and then someone gives you there billions of dollars to the one you should protect? I think it's ridiculous. "
