Trump in 'tough' NATO and EU talks

US President Donald Trump pressed nervous allies today to do more on terrorism after the Manchester bombing. He met EU and NATO leaders for the first time. <br/><br/>Trump faced protests on his arrival in Brussels but he is getting a red-carpet welcome from Western allies eager to persuade him that his earlier harsh criticisms of them were misplaced.<br/><br/>Despite Trump having backed Britain's Brexit vote last year, it was all smiles at the headquarters of the European Union as Trump met the bloc's top two officials, Donald Tusk and Jean-Claude Juncker.<br/><br/>Trump also met his newly-elected French counterpart Emmanuel Macron on the sidelines of a NATO summit in Brussels. Trump's wife Melania Trump was with the President as they welcomed Macron to the US embassy in Brussels ahead of the NATO summit today.
