White House: Kelly looked away after Trump's attack on Germany because he was disappointed in breakfast
By Avery Anapol - 07/11/18 04:32 PM EDT The White House on Wednesday acknowledged that Chief of Staff John Kelly was "displeased" in a video taken earlier in the day, but said it was not over President Trump’s public criticism of Germany.
According to the White House, Kelly was not happy with his meal.
Trump at a NATO summit breakfast on Wednesday said that Germany is “captive to Russia†over a gas pipeline deal.
"If you look at it, Germany is a captive of Russia because they supply," the president said. "They got rid of their coal plants. They got rid of their nuclear. They're getting so much of the oil and gas from Russia. I think it's something that NATO has to look at. I think it's very inappropriate."
Video from the breakfast shows Kelly and other senior officials appearing to react to the comment. Kelly pursed his lips and looked away from the president.
