"Leavitt emphasized that member states had turned their backs on the American people, who fund their nations' defense, highlighting the perceived betrayal felt by the US administration."
"Rutte acknowledged Trump's disappointment with NATO allies, stating that he had very frank discussions with the US president and understood his frustrations regarding the alliance's response."
"Trump revived his threat to seize Greenland, referring to it as a 'big, poorly run, piece of ice,' indicating ongoing tensions with NATO member Denmark."
President Trump criticized NATO for not supporting the US in the war on Iran, stating they failed when needed. Following a meeting with NATO's secretary-general, he expressed frustration over member states' reluctance to assist.
