"And I'm just arguing that, you know, if Trump wanted a strong economic partnership with Greenland, you could look at rare earth minerals and all the other things that might come from it. But to threaten to use forcephysical force or economic forceagainst your allies to get your own way, I mean, this does threaten NATO, Farage began, adding: And it threatensand by the way, many of these structures are imperfect, but basically NATO has been quite a good anchor."
"The president greatly values NATO, and in fact, to your point, he's done more for NATO than anyone in history. I mean, the fact that everyone has agreed to go to 5% of GDP as their commitment for this security concern is a very important development, and it would not have happened but for President Trump. I think he has deserved the Nobel Peace Prize. He's ended seven or eight conflicts, wars around the globe."
Nigel Farage pressed House Speaker Mike Johnson about President Donald Trump fracturing the U.S.-U.K. relationship over Greenland and warned that threatening to use physical or economic force against allies could threaten NATO. Farage suggested economic partnership opportunities in Greenland, including rare earth minerals, but criticized threats to allies. Johnson sought to calm the situation, calling it a "little rift" and saying it was not a long-term threat to NATO or the special relationship. Johnson credited Trump with strengthening NATO by securing higher defense spending commitments and praised his role in ending global conflicts and meriting a Nobel Peace Prize, a view Farage echoed.
