Trump Claims NATO Spending Surge and Ukraine Credit as Denmark Warns Over Greenland Rhetoric

Denmark’s prime minister warns the alliance would cease to function if the United States used force against a member state.

Overview

In a series of Truth Social posts, Trump claimed he moved allies from a 2% to a 5% of GDP defense spending target and said they now pay immediately.
He asserted Russia would control all of Ukraine without his involvement and said he “single-handedly” ended eight wars while lamenting not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize.
Trump argued Russia and China have zero fear of the alliance without the United States and said only a U.S. military he rebuilt commands their respect.
Citing renewed rhetoric about taking Greenland, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen warned that a U.S. military attack on a NATO member would halt the alliance.
Reporting highlighted growing unease among European partners, linking Trump’s latest posts to broader concerns about the alliance’s cohesion.
