US President Donald Trump has expressed doubts about NATO's reciprocal support in times of need, stating the US would always be there for the alliance even if allies wouldn't be for them. He reiterated claims that he compelled NATO members to increase defense spending and asserted that Russia and China fear only the US. Trump also criticized Norway for not awarding him the Nobel Peace Prize, linking it to his claim of ending eight wars. These remarks follow tensions over his interest in acquiring Greenland.
