a critic of NATO in the past, he found
Macron's comments to be "nasty." .

Tuesday during a NATO meeting.
It's a tough statement when you make a statement like that. It's a very, very nasty statement to essentially 28 countries, President Donald Trump, via Politico.
France is not doing well economically at all...They've had a very rough year and you just can't go around making statements like that about NATO. It's very disrespectful, President Donald Trump, via Politico.
Despite Trump's criticism,
Macron is refusing to back down.
I know that my statements
created some reaction.
I do stand by [them], French President Emmanuel Macron, via CNN
