Donald Trump has arrived in London for a two-day NATO summit which marks the 70th anniversary of the alliance, APA reports citing Sputnik.
Previously, he has repeatedly criticised what he calls the lack of equal 'burden-sharing' by NATO's European members.
US President Donald Trump has made several critical remarks towards France as he arrived for a NATO summit in the UK.
Trump said that French President Emmanuel Macron's words about NATO's 'brain death' are 'very nasty'.
Mr Trump also believes that nobody needs NATO more than France, adding that the US is the one that 'benefits the least' from it. He added that he sees France breaking off from the alliance.
"I have a good relationship with Macron but sometimes he says things he should not," Trump said.
Last month, Macron said in an interview with the Economist that NATO was "brain dead" and questioned the ability of the alliance to guarantee its collective defence.
Donald Trump also commented on the decision made by France lately which is about taxing US tech giants:
"I will not let them take advantage of American companies, if they are going to be taxed, it will be by the US."
