Trump slams NATO after meeting with Mark Rutte

President Trump went after the NATO alliance following a meeting with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte — comments that came after the Trump administration had recently expressed frustration with members of the alliance.

“NATO WASN’T THERE WHEN WE NEEDED THEM, AND THEY WON’T BE THERE IF WE NEED THEM AGAIN. REMEMBER GREENLAND, THAT BIG, POORLY RUN, PIECE OF ICE!!!” Trump said in a Wednesday evening post on Truth Social, referencing his push to take over Greenland that he ramped up a few months ago.

US-Griff nach Grönland: Die Scheu der EuropÀer vor einer starken Antwort

Der NATO-Chef ist bekannt dafĂŒr, im Umgang mit Trump auf eine Umarmungsstrategie zu setzen. Kritische Worte Richtung Washington werden von ihm nicht zu hören sein.

(…)

WĂ€hrend DĂ€nemark und Spanien die Übernahmefantasien des US-PrĂ€sidenten verurteilen und der spanische Regierungschef Pedro Sanchez sogar von einem „Verbrechen“ sprach, schlĂ€gt KommissionsprĂ€sidentin Ursula von der Leyen bei der Übergabe der RatsprĂ€sidentschaft diese Woche an Zypern leisere Töne an.

(…)

Es sei keinesfalls so, dass die EuropĂ€er keine Hebel hĂ€tten, um den USA deutlich zu machen: „Damit ist jetzt Schluss.“

Doch von solchen Maßnahmen gegen die USA ist in BrĂŒssel nichts zu hören.
