Former NATO ambassador: Trump ‘breaking the bond of trust’ with Greenland remarks

Trump heaps praise on Nato leader Mark Rutte

While discussing NATO’s forthcoming $80 billion military aid package for Ukraine, De Wever spoke of the message it would send to Russian President Vladimir Putin, who launched Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

Along with Trump's Greenland warning, fresh attacks between Russia and Ukraine were also in focus as NATO allies continue to work towards battling an increased threat from Moscow.

They are already working together to reassure the US president they are pulling their weight financially by building “a stronger and more European Nato” with each member on track to spend 5% of GDP on defence by 2035.
