Obama accused US allies as a stowaway

Obama spoke bluntly about his allies in an interview with The Atlantic magazine.
President Obama described US allies in the Persian Gulf - as well as in Europe - as a "stowaway", because he wanted to involve the US in a conflict that is not related to the interests of the country.

In a magazine article, Obama criticized the British and the French for making Libya so, in his words, "a mess" after a military intervention. He also called British Prime Minister, David Cameron, "distracted".
Obama also called on Iran and Saudi Arabia to resolve their differences.
These statements appear plain in an interview in the magazine The Atlantic.

When asked about Libya, President Obama reportedly said, "If I think back and ask what's wrong, nothing can be criticized, because I have more faith in the people of Europe, see the proximity of Libya, to conduct follow-up."

But according to Obama, Nicolas Sarkozy, president of France, was again elected the following year. After that, Prime Minister David Cameron will also no longer pay attention for "distracted by many other things".
In the interview President Obama also said, "Stowaway makes me upset."
More recently, Obama warned that Britain could no longer claim a "special relationship" with the United States if it is not promising at least 2% of GDP on defense. "You have to pay your part," Obama told David Cameron, who then meets a limit of 2% as agreed by NATO.

When asked about the criticism that appeared in the article about defense spending, the prime minister's official spokesman declined to comment, "I do not want to get involved in a conversation between the prime minister and the president."
