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 US 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.

Wow ... no words

This is absurd beyond belief. If I was Merkel I would have upped and left right there. This guy Trump needs to learn some manners.

Germany has until 2024 to get up to 2%. They don't owe us anything. He has no idea how any of this works.

The man is a boor, and is making our whole country look bad to the entire world.

President Trump stands up for the rights of the US and then for the rights of other countries.

Germany by not paying their share did the same thing. Germany first and don't giv a damn about how much other had to pay.

That time is history and anyone disagreeing with that is a plain fool!

Does Germany owe the US this money?

If so, they need to either just pay their bill or negotiate a settlement.
