WASHINGTON, Jan. 7 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday expressed doubt that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) would come to the United States' aid if needed to defend it.
Trump made the statement two days after Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen warned that a US attack on Greenland could effectively end the military alliance created after the end of World War II.
“We will always stand with NATO, even if it is not with us,” Trump wrote on the Truth Social social network.
The US president and his team are exploring "various options" to gain control of Danish Greenland, including "the use of US troops," White House press secretary Caroline Leavitt said in an emailed statement to Xinhua on Tuesday.
Denmark is a member of both NATO and the European Union. –0–
