Trump also declines to offer any reassurances about his commitment to the stability of Nato alliance

Donald Trump ratcheted up the uncertainty over how far he would be willing to go to acquire Greenland and warned the Nato alliance on Tuesday that it was only as strong as the United States allowed it to be.

“You’ll find out,” Trump said in a terse reply at a White House press briefing before moving to the next question.

Trump also declined to offer any reassurances that Nato leaders were craving about his commitment to the stability of the transatlantic alliance after his threats to take over Greenland by force.

The president repeated multiple times that he had done more for Nato than anyone else, as part of suggestions that he should have free rein to shape its future and what territories the US controlled.
