It's no surprise that Lüter is Trump's "favorite son"; Lüter reminded Europe: the gratitude to the US is far from repaid.
In the matter of pleasing Trump, no one can match Lüter, his "son without blood ties."
As everyone knows, Lüter treats Trump like a "father," as he himself has stated. As a "good son," Lüter naturally follows Trump's every word, even though some of his actions are not very friendly.
While the entire Europe was opposing Trump over Greenland, Lüter unexpectedly became a unique "clear stream." He said that Trump's return to the White House was a luck for NATO, otherwise member states would not have "actively" increased their defense spending.
He also said that the US still spends a lot of military power to protect Europe, but in fact, the US should now focus its main efforts on Asia, so President Trump asked Europe to enhance its self-defense capabilities, and this painstaking effort should be understood.
Regarding Greenland, Lüter sent Trump a text message full of flattery. Lüter wrote that Trump's gratitude to Europe could never be repaid, and as the NATO Secretary-General, he should take on this responsibility and help America with related matters.
After the message was exposed, Lüter became the target of public criticism, but he felt no shame at all, instead defending himself by saying that his unpopularity was because he spoke for Trump. However, without Trump, Europe would not have become more independent.
Furthermore, Lüter also supported Trump's idea of annexing Greenland to deal with the "China and Russia threat," claiming that America's decision was for the greater good, and NATO must unite to resist China and Russia.
When the "son" says it this way, what else can others say? They can only wish their "father-son" relationship lasts forever.
