President Donald Trump on Tuesday, January 20, argued that no leader had done more for NATO than he had, while openly questioning whether the alliance would come to the United States’ defense in a crisis.
“Nobody’s done more for NATO,” Trump said during remarks. “I’ve done more for NATO than anybody.” He suggested that even NATO’s secretary general would acknowledge his role.
Trump questions NATO's commitment after Greenland dispute Trump’s comments came after NATO members strongly opposed his stated desire to take control of Greenland. He said that the backlash reinforced his concerns about fairness within the alliance.
“NATO has to treat us fairly, too,” Trump said. “We spend a tremendous amount with NATO, and I know we’ll come to their rescue, but I really do question whether or not they’ll come to ours.”
Trump will travel later on Tuesday to Davos, Switzerland, for the World Economic Forum, where he is expected to meet with several NATO leaders.

Wasn't NATO the organization that joined us in Afghanistan?
Tagline.
Every NATO country has a generally, generously low percentage of contribution rate.
I can’t speak exactly to the numbers but what I have seen, many are low single digit percentages.
Any country that has a single digit should be required to double it. If 2%? 4%. If 3.5%? 7%.
If they’re over double digits, they should increase it by at least 50%. If 11%? 17%.
The U.S. burden should be reduced for this whole thing to continue. Suggested numbers just for demonstration. The point is, we have subsidized their non-military for way too long and its time to change that. They need to be able to protect themselves.
Time for the baby birdie to at least consider its ability to fly on its own around the nest.
NATO is done. Even though it still exits on paper.
