US President Donald Trump says an upcoming meeting scheduled for 16th July with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, might be "easier" than a gathering this week with NATO allies. Trump gave his opinion before setting off for a one-week trip to Europe, which will also include a highly controversial visit to Britain.
 

Trump also posted a series of Tweets criticizing other NATO members for not meeting defence spending targets, and warning that the US will not be in his words "taken advantage of" by the EU.

​

Dr Mitchell Belfer, President of the Euro-Gulf Information Centre (EGIC) said: "The US behaviour to the EU and to Nato are benefiting Russia. Donald Trump has not followed through a single policy statement that doesn't in someway benefit Russia, and that's dangerous."
