President Donald Trump needled France Tuesday saying ‘you would be speaking German right now’ had it not been for the U.S.’s involvement in World War II, as he again touted Saturday’s Army parade.
‘We’re going to celebrate our country for a change,’ Trump said, expressing frustration that the U.S. hasn’t held military-centric celebrations to mark significant milestones.
Trump then told reporters how he had recently called up France as they were celebrating the World War II victory.
TRUMP: "We won World War II. France is celebrating, we helped them a lot. We're the only country that's not celebrating. If it wasn't for us, you'd be speaking German right now. You might be speaking Japanese too. You might be speaking a combination of both." pic.twitter.com/gT53R6sOqQ
