President Trump hit Twitter Saturday morning to comment on his White House meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

“Despite what you have heard from the FAKE NEWS, I had a GREAT meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel,” he wrote at 9:15 a.m. in the first of two tweets.

“Nevertheless, Germany owes vast sums of money to NATO & the United States must be paid more for the powerful, and very expensive, defense it provides to Germany!” he followed up 8 minutes later.

Funding for the European military alliance has been a sore spot for Trump, who frequently complained on the campaign trail that Germany and other members have not paid their promised contributions.
