Trump Reaffirms US Commitment to NATO Amid Rising Tensions Over GreenlandWed 7th Jan, 2026United States President Donald Trump has reiterated the country's ongoing support for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), despite expressing skepticism regarding the alliance's reciprocal commitment to Washington. He also noted that adversaries such as Russia and China only perceive NATO as a significant force as long as the United States remains an active member. Trump raised concerns about whether NATO member states would provide adequate assistance to the United States should the need arise. This prospect has led to heightened diplomatic friction between the United States and several European partners. Frederiksen remarked that an attack by the United States on another NATO country would fundamentally undermine the foundation of the alliance.
