NATO leaders say alliance is working against Russian agression<\/div>

President Donald Trump is set to meet with fellow NATO leaders on Wednesday, as the alliance confronts mounting challenges from both external threats and internal divisions. <\/p>

Trump has repeatedly publicized his discontent with NATO since returning to the White House last year, pushing member states to commit to greater defense spending, and more recently lambasting NATO allies for refusing to join America’s military action in Iran. At the NATO summit on Tuesday, Trump reignited inter-alliance tensions when he resurfaced his desire to take control of Greenland, a territory of NATO member Denmark. <\/p>

Speaking to reporters in Ankara, Turkey, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte touted greater cohesion between member states, higher defense spending and a series of military deals being inked at the event as signs of “NATO 3.0” emerging. <\/p>

Despite Trump’s fresh push for the U.S. to acquire Greenland, Rutte insisted that Washington remained committed to the NATO alliance. \u00a0<\/p>

“There is complete commitment of the United States to NATO \u2026 the commitment is there, no doubt,” Rutte told journalists as he arrived at the NATO summit on Wednesday morning. “Also, NATO is there in the U.S. interest to prevent, for example, nuclear submarines of Russia ending up on the shores of the United States. The U.S., to stay safe, needs a secure Atlantic, Europe, and Arctic, so there is complete commitment to NATO.”<\/p><\/div>

Rutte added that the alliance’s commitment to spend 5% of members’ national gross domestic product on defense, agreed last year, was a “big win” for all its members \u2014 and a loss for Russian President Vladimir Putin.<\/p>

“I expect again today to acknowledge collectively that Russia is the long-term threat to NATO territory,” he said, ahead of meetings between allies. <\/p>

When asked if he had a message for Putin, Rutte replied: “Don’t fool with us.”<\/p>

“My message is that this alliance of 1 billion people living in Europe, living in Canada, living in the United States, that this alliance will defend every inch of our territory,” he said. “You cannot win [against] NATO. We are defensive. We will never attack anyone. We will only defend our way of life, our democracies, our territory. So don’t fool with us, don’t play with us.”<\/p>

NATO has been heavily involved in providing military assistance to Ukraine since Russia launched its full-scale war in the country in early 2022. Parts of the alliance’s eastern flank \u2014 Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and Romania \u2014 share borders with Ukraine. <\/p>

Moscow strongly opposes Ukraine joining NATO, and has claimed the military alliance’s expansion in Eastern Europe was a reason for the launch of its so-called “special military operation” in Ukraine. <\/p>
