Donald Trump Says Germany Owes 'Vast Sums of Money' to Nato and the US

THE TELEGRAPH: Donald Trump has taken to Twitter to demand that Germany "pay more" to the United States for its defense, only hours after meeting with Angela Merkel.

Mr Trump and the German Chancellor sat down together in The Oval Office for the first time yesterday and included discussions of America's terms for its continued commitment to Nato.

Mrs Merkel told the president she believed Germany must work to pay its fair share to be in the alliance – a key demand by Mr Trump, who has repeatedly said he believes America is bearing the brunt of the costs.

But Mr Trump appeared unconvinced by these assurances on Saturday morning, when he tweeted from Mar-a-Lago, his Florida redoubt, that "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!" » | Ruth Sherlock, Washington | Saturday, March 18, 2017

THE JAKARTA POST: Indonesian interfaith leaders are set to visit several countries across Europe and the United States to introduce values of tolerance among Islamic religious followers in the country.

“The delegates will speak about the religious concord in Indonesia, how moderate Islam plays a crucial role in the country and how Indonesian nationalism can have tolerant and inclusive religious followers as its pillars,” said Leimena Institute founder, Jacob Tobing, said as quoted by kompas.com after he met with Vice President Jusuf Kalla at the Vice Presidential Office in Jakarta on Friday. » | News Desk | The Jakarta Post | Jakarta | Saturday, March 18, 2017

Is Trump Counterterrorism Aide Sebastian Gorka a Sworn Member of Hungarian Nazi-Allied Group?

Is President Donald Trump’s top counterterrorism adviser, Sebastian Gorka, a member of a Hungarian far-right, Nazi-allied group? We speak with reporter Larry Cohler-Esses, who first reported the allegations in The Forward, a leading Jewish American newspaper. The outlet reports members of the Vitézi Rend elite order confirmed Gorka took a lifelong oath of loyalty to the Hungarian far-right group, which is listed by the U.S. State Department as having been “under the direction of the Nazi Government of Germany” during World War II. Questions first emerged about Gorka’s ties to the group after the website LobeLog published photographs of Gorka wearing a Vitézi Rend medal on his lapel at a presidential inauguration ball on January 20. Gorka has denied reports of his involvement with the group, but if he is found to have failed to disclose this in his immigration application, it could make him inadmissible to the country under the Immigration and Nationality Act. The revelation comes as Jewish community centers and synagogues around the U.S. reported another wave of bomb threats over the weekend.
