President Trump’s First International Trip – Part II (Europe) May 23-27, 2017
….. Continued from Part I
From Israel, I flew to the Vatican, the seat of the Pope
I had a fantastic meeting with the current Pope – Pope Francis
During the campaign, I had “heated” exchanges with him(1)
We still have many differences, yet our relationship is not in a crisis
During my hard fought presidential campaign
I had made no secret of my disdain for the NATO alliance
I had called NATO obsolete, they are “free loading” on America
They need to stand on their own feet and lessen their reliance
