US NATO envoy backs Trump's criticism of German leadership

US Permanent Representative to NATO Matthew Whitaker has endorsed Donald Trump’s criticism of Germany’s leadership.

Speaking in an interview with Fox News, Matthew Whitaker said that the United States has spent billions of dollars, invested billions in the German economy, and that tens of thousands of US service members are stationed in the country.

“It’s a two-way street with our allies. The United States needs to get value from our allies, because not only is NATO a military alliance, it’s also a political alliance, and so when we have allies that are not supporting the United States, they say things like that are just not true, to be quite honest,” the ambassador added.
