Trump chooses between Greenland and NATO

He made it clear that the transatlantic alliance is virtually useless without the US at its center, according to The New York Times.

When asked why he needs to own Greenland, Trump said it is psychologically necessary for success.

“I think ownership gives you something you can't achieve, whether it's a lease or a contract. Ownership gives you something you can't get just by signing a document,” he said.

According to Trump, sovereignty and national borders are less important than the special role the US plays as the defender of the West.

He was the only one able to convince NATO countries to spend 5% of their gross domestic product on defense.

“I think we will always get along with Europe, but I want them to fix the situation. I was the one who made them spend more, you know, more GDP on NATO. But if you look at NATO, I can tell you that Russia is not concerned about any other country except us,” he said.
