Because of that we can say that we can make our independent policies and make independent decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">NATO\u2019s Stoltenberg later told reporters that Trump had used \u201cvery direct language\u201d but that all NATO allies were agreed that the cost of defence spending must be spread around and that last year had seen the biggest increase in a generation.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">After joking that his breakfast with Trump at the U.S. ambassador\u2019s residence had been paid by the United States, the NATO chief was frank about the impact of Trump\u2019s criticism on the Western allies at a broader level.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cThere are disagreements on trade. This is serious. My task is to try to minimise the negative impact on NATO,\u201d Stoltenberg told a forum in the margins of the summit.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cSo far is hasn\u2019t impacted on NATO that much, I cannot guarantee that will not be the case in the future. The transatlantic bond is not one, there are many ties, some of them have been weakened.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">By slapping higher tariffs on European Union metals experts and threatening more on cars, Trump has shown his anger at the U.S. trade deficit with the European Union.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>\u201cDEPENDENCE\u201d ON RUSSIA<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Trump said Germany\u2019s closure of coal and nuclear power plants on environmental grounds had increased its dependence, like much of the rest of Europe, on Russian gas.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Trump said:<\/strong> \u201cWe\u2019re protecting Germany, we\u2019re protecting France, we\u2019re protecting all of these countries. And then numerous of the countries go out and make a pipeline deal with Russia where they\u2019re paying billions of dollars into the coffers of Russia &#8230; I think that\u2019s very inappropriate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Merkel has given political backing to the Nord Stream 2 pipeline to import more gas, despite criticism from other EU governments.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Trump said: \u201cIf you look at it, Germany is a captive of Russia. They got rid of their coal plants, they got rid of their nuclear, they\u2019re getting so much of their oil and gas from Russia. I think it is something NATO has to look at.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">However, his comment that \u201cGermany is totally controlled by Russia because they are getting 60 to 70 percent of their energy from Russia and a new pipeline\u201d appeared to mis-state German energy use \u2014 about 20 percent of which is accounted for by oil and gas imports from Russia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. President Donald Trump accused Germany of being a \u201ccaptive\u201d of Russia on Wednesday as Western leaders gathered in Brussels for a NATO summit where Trump wants Europeans to pay more for their own defence.
