Now, it comes to Germany.
Trump on Tuesday called Germany's trade and military spending policies "very bad" for the United States as tensions between him and German Chancellor Angela Merkel increased.
"We have a MASSIVE trade deficit with Germany, plus they pay FAR LESS than they should on NATO & military," Trump wrote on Twitter.
The tit-for-tat dispute escalated rapidly after Trump, at back-to-back summits last week, criticized major NATO allies over their military spending and refused to endorse a global climate change accord.
On Sunday, Merkel showed the gravity of her concern about Washington's dependability under Trump when she warned, at an election campaign event in a packed Bavarian beer tent - that the times when Europe could fully rely on others were "over to a certain extent."
Merkel had already begun finessing her message on Monday, stressing that she was a "convinced trans-Atlanticist," a message she repeated after a meeting with visiting Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Berlin.
The German leader described the summit as "very difficult, not to say very unsatisfactory."
During his campaign and also after winning the presidency, Trump repeatedly blasted Merkel for making a "catastrophic mistake" with her open-door policy on refugees, while Merkel did not shy away from criticizing Trump in the wake of his travel ban order that sought to temporarily ban travellers from seven Muslim-majority countries in January.
