Trump said that without him, NATO would no longer exist
Sputnik News, Washington: U.S. President Trump stated that no other president has contributed more to NATO than himself, and without his involvement, NATO would no longer exist.
Trump posted on the social media platform "Truth Social" saying: "No one or president has contributed more to NATO than President Trump. Without me, NATO would no longer exist today!!! It would have long been swept into the trash of history."
Former NATO Secretary General and Danish Prime Minister Rasmussen said during the Davos Forum that Trump's announcement that Greenland should join the United States is the biggest challenge faced by NATO since its establishment. Rasmussen said that the future of NATO is "precarious".
U.S. President Trump announced on January 17 that starting from February, he would impose a 10% tariff on Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, and Finland, increasing to 25% by June, until the United States reaches an agreement on purchasing Greenland.
Greenland is part of Denmark. However, U.S. President Trump has repeatedly stated that Greenland should become part of the United States. Denmark and Greenland have warned the United States not to occupy the island and hope that the United States will respect its territorial integrity.
