French President Emmanuel Macron ​on Wednesday ​rejected President Trump’s assertion that Germany is “totally controlled” by Russia because of an energy deal.

“No. No,” ​said Macron as he sat next to Trump on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Brussels.

​Macron said he and Trump “just discussed” the issue and said “we work together.”​

Trump said it was a “great honor” to meet with Macron and lauded him for doing a “terrific job.”

“We have a tremendous relationship,” Trump said. “We’re discussing trade. We’re discussing NATO. We’re discussing a lot of different things and hopefully in the end it will all work out. So it is great to be with you.”

At a breakfast with NATO Secretary-General Jen Stoltenberg earlier Wednesday, Trump took Germany and Chancellor Angela Merkel to task for a project that would deliver natural gas via a pipeline under the Baltic Sea from Russia to northern Germany.

“​But Germany is totally controlled by Russia,” Trump said about the Nord Stream 2 project.

“I think it’s very sad when Germany makes a massive oil and gas deal with Russia, where you’re supposed to be guarding against Russia​,​ and Germany goes out and pays billions and billions of dollars a year to Russia,” Trump ​told Stoltenberg.
