President Donald Trump criticized NATO during a summit in Turkey, expressing disappointment with the alliance for not supporting the United States in the war in Iran and raising the possibility of pulling U.S. troops from NATO countries.
NATO Summit Tensions
Trump’s comments come as thousands of American troops remain stationed across Europe, forming part of the U.S. security umbrella that NATO has relied on for decades. The president also renewed his push for U.S. control of Greenland, an island currently governed by NATO ally Denmark.
Trump is set to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, a meeting that will test NATO’s alignment. Ukraine continues to request additional military support, but Trump is pressing NATO allies to take on more of that responsibility.
