So when he says these provocative comments on Greenland, which has been one of the most extraordinary crises in U.S.-European relations lately,
You get a combination of NATO diplomats, NATO leaders who are rolling their eyes, who are becoming increasingly anxious, or who are sort of inured to this and saying, look, Trump's going to say what he's going to say, but we just have to keep our head down, keep doing work, and keep this alliance functioning, no matter what rhetorical bombshells Trump drops this week.
Look, I mean, this president, like past American presidents, Democrat and Republican alike, has said that NATO allies need to get serious on defense spending.
What's changed is, of course, this president has really, really escalated the rhetoric, the threats to pare back U.S.
commitments to NATO against the backdrop of this Russian war in Ukraine.
Allies are still very nervous that Russia has ambitions to set their sights on NATO territory after Ukraine, however that war ends.
It's incredibly high stakes for them.
The European allies have announced a slew of new weapons production of new investments here.
There's plans for all allies to spend up to 5% of GDP on defense and defense-related investments in the next 5 to 10 years.
That is a big win for the Trump administration.
European allies say that's a big win for themselves.
They do agree with Trump that they need to get more serious.
Britain, France, Germany, and other European nations said they will also spend more than $50 billion over the next decade to develop long-range precision weapons.
That's something that the US has the biggest stockpile of, and that stockpile is dwindling fast, especially after the Iran war.
So they see that as a really critical gap.
in any sort of military contingency that they could face, particularly when it comes to Russia in the next decade.
You know, I think Zelensky is looking for any sort of signal that the United States might come down on the side of Ukraine in ongoing negotiations.
Right now, Ukraine, almost against all odds that one might have expected a year ago, has the upper hand in the war against Russia.
The front lines have basically stalled.
Russia is pouring blood and treasure into this conflict in a way where it's just got no end in sight.
