In Paris to mark the centennial of World War I, President Donald Trump asked Saturday if there is anything better than celebrating the end of a war.

Trump travelled to France to join dozens of other world leaders in marking the 100th anniversary of the armistice that ended the first global conflict in which millions were killed. "Is there anything better to celebrate than the end of a war, in particular that one, which was one of the bloodiest and worst of all time?" the president asked in a tweet.

Trump wasted no time taking a poke at his French host Friday as he arrived in Paris. Trump tweeted that French President Emmanuel Macron "has just suggested that Europe build its own military in order to protect itself from the US, China and Russia. Very insulting, but perhaps Europe should first pay its fair share of NATO, which the U.S. subsidizes greatly!"
