Olympia [US], January 8: President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that the United States would "always" stand by the NATO military alliance, amid alarm among European allies over his stated aim of controlling
Greenland.
"We will always be there for NATO, even if they won't be there for us," Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social.
Trump added that Russia and China would not "fear" NATO if the United States were not part of the alliance. "EVERYONE IS LUCKY THAT I REBUILT OUR MILITARY IN MY FIRST TERM, AND CONTINUE TO DO SO," he wrote.
The comments come as concerns grow over US commitment to the alliance following Trump's recent remarks that the United States "needs" to take control of Greenland for security reasons.
The governments of both Greenland and Denmark have firmly rejected Trump's efforts to acquire or annex the sparsely populated Arctic island.
