Trump abruptly cancels NATO press conference after summit turns sour
President Donald Trump on Wednesday abruptly canceled a press conference that was scheduled to cap a contentious trip to England for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s 70th anniversary meeting.

“When today’s meetings are over, I will be heading back to Washington,” Trump said in a series of tweets.

“We won’t be doing a press conference at the close of NATO because we did so many over the past two days. Safe travels to all!” Trump said.

Trump calls Trudeau 'two-faced' after hot mic catches NATO leaders speaking candidly
The Canadian premier and others were heard apparently speaking about the president.

President Donald Trump blasted Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as "two-faced" on Wednesday after Trudeau was caught on an open mic with other world leaders discussing the NATO meeting in London and making what appeared to be references to Trump.

The video, which quickly went viral online, showed Trudeau, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, French President Emmanuel Macron and others speaking at a Buckingham Palace reception. The video begins with Johnson looking toward Macron and asking, "Is that why you were late?"

Trudeau jumped in, "He was late because he takes a 40-minute press conference off the top."

After a cut in the footage, Trudeau adds, "I watched his team's jaws drop on the floor."

Fact check: Trump makes at least 21 false claims at NATO meetings
President Donald Trump held official meetings with two foreign leaders and the head of NATO at the alliance summit in London on Tuesday -- and turned the public portion of each of the three sessions into his own highly dishonest impromptu press conference.

Trump treated NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, French President Emmanuel Macron and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to a selection of his favorite fictions, most of which we have fact-checked before, and sprinkled in some new nonsense for good measure.
Speaking to reporters for more than two hours in total, Trump made at least 21 false claims. That's our initial count. The total may well grow once we have time to do some deeper fact-checking.
Embarking on a dishonesty blitz while at a foreign summit would be strange behavior for any other president. For Trump, long impervious to norms of propriety and accuracy, it was just another Tuesday.

Mensch!!!
Ihr macht Euch solche Sorgen um die EU.
Warum?
In 11 Jahren ist doch alles vorbei.
Sagt Greta.

Dann bitte, elf Jahre carpe diem.

Und das ist dran an dieser Meldung:

Macron sagt etwas, gestikuliert dabei mit den Armen. In dem Video erzählt Macron offenbar eine Anekdote aus seinem Treffen in Watford bei London mit Trump. Allerdings ist Macrons Gesicht von der Kamera abgewandt und seine Worte daher nicht zu verstehen. Was auch immer er gesagt hat, den Niederländischen Regierungschef Mark Rutte muss es belustigt haben. „Fake News Medien“, sagt er und lacht. Offensichtlich eine Anspielung auf Trumps fortwährende Fehde mit Vertretern der Presse.

An dieser Stelle gibt es einen Schnitt im Video, doch offenbar wird die gleiche Situation aus einer anderen Kamera-Perspektive einfach weiter gefilmt. „Seinen Team-Mitgliedern sind die Kinnladen runtergekippt“, hört man Trudeau noch sagen. Dann schaltet sich Prinzessin Anne ins Gespräch ein. Das Mitglied des britischen Königshauses wird dabei allerdings von Ruttes Rücken verdeckt, sodass auch ihre Worte nicht zu verstehen sind.

Am besten daran ist ein Leserbrief dazu:
Eine tolle Interpretation...man hat zwar nichts verstehen können, weiß aber was über Trump gesagt wurde...

Nun, den Hatern ist es egal. Sie saugen kritiklos alles auf, was ihnen gegen Trump an Dreck serviert wird.

Of Course Trump Was Laughed Out of the NATO Summit
If America won’t take care of our allies, Russia and China will.

Earlier today, President Donald Trump cancelled his press conference at the NATO summit, called Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau two-faced, and abruptly left the summit altogether after video surfaced of Trudeau, Boris Johnson, and Emmanuel Macron talking about the American president with utter contempt.

Trump seemed surprised that, after three years of crapping all over America’s allies, they do not hold him in high regard. ...

Tories breathe sigh of relief as Trump leaves UK
The US president was on his best behavior while he visited Britain.

The British Conservative Party was given a huge boost on Wednesday when Donald Trump left the U.K. without smashing up its election strategy. The U.S. president was supposed to hold a press conference at the end of a gathering of NATO leaders but canceled it, saying he had answered enough questions.
“We won’t be doing a press conference at the close of NATO because we did so many over the past two days. Safe travels to all!” the commander-in-chief said on Twitter.

It means U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson survived the Trump visit without any extra obstacles being put in his way ahead of the December 12 vote.
“There are huge sighs of relief all round,” said Conservative ex-Cabinet minister Andrew Mitchell, who is fighting to keep his Sutton Coldfield seat in the election. “It’s a great triumph for the prime minister.” ...
Johnson spent two days working hard to avoid being pictured with Trump, who is deeply unpopular in the U.K. He did not greet the president at the door of Downing Street when world leaders arrived for a reception on Wednesday night. The only photos of Johnson and Trump together were the full NATO group shot and the obligatory opening handshake snap.

They also didn't hold a joint press conference. Instead, they had a late-night, one-to-one meeting in Downing Street's grand White Room, which was not announced in advance and was mentioned on the U.K. government website with little fanfare afterward.

Johnson even swerved mentioning Trump by name when he held his own press conference at the end of the NATO meeting. ...

Trump calls Trudeau ‘two-faced’ as palace gossip goes viral
NATO leaders professed unity on Wednesday at a summit near London — but a spat over off-the-cuff chit chat at a royal reception rattled their show of solidarity.

U.S. President Donald Trump branded the leader of America’s northern neighbor “two-faced” after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appeared to gossip about Trump in comments caught on camera and microphone.

Trudeau was seen standing in a huddle with French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte and Britain’s Princess Anne, daughter of Queen Elizabeth II at Tuesday evening’s Buckingham Palace reception for NATO leaders.

Trudeau could be heard saying incredulously, “he takes a 40-minute press conference off the top.” Trudeau confirmed that was a reference to Trump’s long and unscheduled question-and-answer session with journalists earlier Tuesday.

Trudeau also said: “You just watched his team’s jaws drop to the floor.” He explained Wednesday that was in reference to Trump’s decision to hold the next Group of Seven meeting at Camp David, the presidential retreat.

Footage of the palace reception was recorded by a pool camera. The clip was posted online by Canadian broadcaster CBC and has been viewed more than 5 million times.

NATO Anniversary Event Cancelled After US Embassy Bans Trump Critic From Attending
On Sunday, the Danish Atlantic Council cancelled its upcoming conference celebrating NATO’s 70th anniversary after the U.S. embassy in Copenhagen barred a critic of President Donald Trump from attending the event.

“After serious consideration, we have decided not to proceed with the Conference,” Dr. Lars Bangert Struwe, the council’s secretary-general, said in a press release. “The progress of the process has become too problematic; and therefore, we cannot participate in the Conference, let alone ask our Speakers to participate.”

Stanley Sloan, a foreign policy expert who has criticized Trump, was slated to give remarks at the conference on December 10. However, the council stated that U.S. Ambassador to Denmark Carla Sands, a Trump appointee, had “demanded” that Sloan be uninvited. ...

Female minister, 34, tapped to become Finland’s youngest PM
A 34-year-old transport minister and lawmaker has been tapped to become Finland’s youngest prime minister ever and its third female government leader.

Finland’s ruling Social Democratic Party council voted 32-29 late Sunday to name Sanna Marin over rival Antti Lindtman to take over the government’s top post from incumbent Antti Rinne.

Having emerged as Finland’s largest party in the April election, the Social Democrats can appoint one of their own to the post of prime minister in the Nordic nation of 5.5 million.

Marin has been the party’s vice chairwoman, a lawmaker since 2015 and served as until this week as the minster for transport and communications. According to Finland’s biggest newspaper Helsingin Sanomat and the Ilta-Sanomat tabloid, Marin will become the world’s youngest sitting prime minister.

Hmm, der pöhse Salvini hat bzgl. der Schiffe Diciotti und Gregoretti doch nicht allein entschieden, sondern gemeinsam mit Giuseppe Conte und Luigi di Maio. Der Prozess gegen Salvini dürfte also unbequem für den Premier und seinen Außenminister werden.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjxf10GXraI

"Gli italiani brava gente siamo noi." (3:15) Die guten Italiener sind wir.
Klar, und wer anders denkt, wer sich nicht bereichert fühlt, wer nicht meint, Italien müsse das Auffanglager Afrikas werden, wer gar Salvini oder Meloni wählt, ist ein böser Italiener. So sieht also das italienische Pendant zu #wirsindmehr aus. Die Fischchen füllen die Piazzas, denn sie bieten das Gefühl, zu den Guten zu gehören. Derweil führt in der ehemals linken Emilia-Romagna, der Hochburg des KPI, die böse Lega mit 32% zu 18,5% für den guten PD.
