NATO and Ukraine War

President Donald Trump used a Truth Social post and subsequent White House briefing to declare that the United States 'will always be there for NATO' even as he accused alliance members of not sharing the same commitment, claiming credit for strengthening NATO, deterring Russia and China, and asserting that without his actions 'Russia would have all of Ukraine right now.' The article situates his remarks amid ongoing U.S.-backed peace negotiations over the Russia-Ukraine war, a new Paris declaration by UK and France outlining a coalition framework with a U.S.-led ceasefire monitoring role, and fresh friction with allies over his stated desire for the U.S. to take over Greenland for 'national security' reasons.
