More obvious Russia collusion!
Impeach now!
This "scolding" is really a veiled threat to Russia (not vailed to Putin). Along with that, keeping up sanctions that are tougher than Obama's.
But he should have publically badgered Putin in the summit. That would have been really helpful /s
/Trump also scolded Germany — just as he did at the NATO summit — for agreeing to use a Russian natural gas pipeline while, in his estimation, not paying enough for defense.

So it’s a win-win-win situation.

… while, in his estimation, not paying enough for defense. …Truth eluding this one? When one agrees to a certain percentage of GDP and doesn’t pay it, it is a fact and not anyone's “estimation”, never mind not being for “ defense ” per se but for NATO particularly.
The Soviet era could war is over, so that gas pipeline is none of our business. The Europeans are not sufficiently afraid of the Russians to favor our higher priced liquified gas over cheaper Russian gas delivered by pipeline, so why is Trump interjecting the USA into this matter? Just so he can say, “Hey, I really am tough on the Russians”?
