We know Russia's economy is under serious strain.
Even with some temporary relaxing of sanctions due to oil shortages, Russia cannot compensate for the toll their war is taking on their battered finances.
The pressures meant to bring Russia to the negotiating table, to end this terrible war that they started over four years ago.
And when it comes to the Arctic, I think President Trump is right.
Other leaders in NATO are right.
We need to defend the Arctic.
We know that these sea lanes are opening up.
We know that China and Russia are increasingly active in the Arctic.
There are eight countries bordering on the Arctic.
seven are a member of NATO, that's Finland and Sweden and Norway and Denmark, Iceland, Canada and the US, and there's only one country bordering on the Arctic outside NATO, and that's Russia.
And I would argue there is a ninth country, which is China, which is increasingly active in the Arctic region.
So, President Trump and other leaders are right, we have to do more there, we have to protect the Arctic against Russian and Chinese influence, and that's exactly what NATO ambassadors decided to do in September.
We are working on that, making sure
that collectively will defend the Arctic region.
Listen.
The U.S.
is by far the most powerful nation on Earth.
And the President of the United States is there for the leader of the free world.
So again, I'm not popular with you now because I'm defending Donald Trump.
But I really believe we can be happy that he is there because he has forced us in Europe to step up, to face the consequences that we have to take care more of our own defense.
