The remarks came during a bilateral meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, where Trump also raised the possibility of pulling American troops out of Europe. He argued that the continent had changed significantly in recent decades and warned European leaders to be 'careful' over immigration and energy policy.
