In scathing criticism on Truth Social, US President Donald Trump targeted NATO nations after Denmark warned that an attack by America would mean the end of NATO. He said that Russia and China are hardly scared of NATO and doubted if NATO would be there for the US if needed, NDTV reported.
"Remember, also, I single-handedly ended 8 wars, and Norway, a NATO Member, foolishly chose not to give me the Noble Peace Prize," Trump wrote.
He also said that without the US, Russia would "have all of Ukraine right now". "We will always be there for NATO, even if they won't be there for us," Trump wrote.
The Republican leader also reminded the NATO nations how, after intense pressure, the member states officially agreed to increase their defence spending target to 5 per cent of GDP by 2035. The new commitment replaces the 2 per cent target set in 2014.
"Remember, for all of those big NATO fans, they were at 2% GDP, and most weren't paying their bills, until I came along. The USA was, foolishly paying for them!" Trump said.
