    My NATO rage began with Greenland, Trump says

      U.S. President Donald Trump said Monday evening that his recent grievances with NATO trace back to a standoff earlier this year over Greenland.

      “It all began with, if you want to know the truth, Greenland,” Trump [said](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAUNrWICG1Q&time_continue=8&source_ve_path=MjM4NTE&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bing.com%2F&embeds_referring_origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bing.com) during a White House press conference. “We want Greenland. They don’t want to give it to us. And I said, ‘bye, bye.’”

      The remark revives a dispute that rattled transatlantic ties in January, when Trump [threatened to take control of the self-ruling Danish territory](https://www.politico.com/news/2026/01/06/trump-says-his-greenland-fixation-is-about-national-security-europeans-are-skeptical-00712149) before backing down after an agreement was struck. The episode sparked alarm across Europe, with Denmark reportedly [preparing contingency plans](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c33ln4mp1p2o) in case of a U.S. invasion of the island.

      Trump used the Monday press conference to broaden his attack on NATO, accusing transatlantic military allies of failing to support Washington during the Iran war.

      “I think it’s a mark on NATO that will never disappear,” he said, adding he was “very disappointed” by the lack of military backing after several countries — including Spain — [refused to grant access to bases or airspace](https://www.politico.eu/article/spain-closes-airspace-us-planes-iran-war/), and European governments [declined to send warships to secure the Strait of Hormuz.](https://www.politico.eu/article/europe-up-policing-hormuz-strait-only-fighting-stops/)

      The comments echo a growing drumbeat of criticism from the Trump administration. Trump floated the idea of [pulling the U.S. out of NATO](https://www.politico.eu/article/us-donald-trump-considering-pulling-out-of-nato/) last week, while U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio [warned](https://www.politico.eu/article/marco-rubio-warns-us-may-rethink-nato-after-iran-war/) the alliance risks becoming “not a very good arrangement” for Washington.

      European leaders have so far resisted U.S. pressure. In [a call last Thursday](https://www.politico.eu/article/europe-up-policing-hormuz-strait-only-fighting-stops/) involving more than 40 leaders, governments discussed diplomatic and economic steps to reopen the Strait of Hormuz but [stopped short of any concrete military commitment](https://www.military.com/daily-news/2026/04/02/uk-gathers-more-40-countries-plot-ways-of-reopening-strait-of-hormuz.html). French President Emmanuel Macron went further, [warning](https://www.france24.com/en/macron-says-unrealistic-open-hormuz-strait-force-urges-trump-be-serious) such a military operation would be “unrealistic.”

      NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte is set to meet Trump, Rubio and U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in Washington on Wednesday in a bid to ease tensions.

      Trump, for his part, appears unimpressed.

      “They’re going to say, ‘oh, we’ll do this. We’ll do that,’” he [said](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-04-06/trump-raises-greenland-dispute-as-he-assails-nato-over-iran-war). “Now they all of a sudden want to send things.”

      He is like a toddler.

      If he doesn’t get his way, he will throw a tantrum.

      Just die already, so the world can move on.

      Ps. He got recruited in 1987 by the Soviets, that’s when he became a NATO skeptic, he promptly flew back to the US and started buying anti-NATO ads in newspapers.

      He’s just lying again.

      This guy thought the European Union / NATO would just let him take Greenland from Denmark… I have no idea what world he’s living in, but honestly I think he’s crazy. One of the most disgusting politicians of all time. The United States of America is a great country, but sometimes it picks some unbelievable leaders… what this guy is doing in Iran is a war crime.

      “Give me Greenland.”

      “Wha… No.”

      “Oh yeah? I’ll fuck up Venezuela and bomb Iran.”

      “What? Why?”

      “Bye bye, NATO!”

      *Sigh*

      It didn’t tho. Trump tried to get USA out of NATO back in 2018. It has nothing to do with Greenland – it has a lot more to do with Trump wanting to be totally independent of allies.

      Nothing to be angry about: You, being a civilized individual in an outstanding political position, of course, don’t want to come out as a “gangster boss”, right? Not wanting that, you simply follow the rules of wooing – not raping – a country which doesn’t want you. (Which will be the case with 99.9% of all countries on this planet right now).

      Når manden dør bør vi fryse ham ned og stille ham som en statue på Grønland. Så kan han endelig og forevigt stå til hån på den ø han så gerne vil have.

      Som et fucking barn.

      Et barn.

      Og det er manden der leder verdens stærkeste militær.

      Flot amerikanere, virkelig flot.

    16. RollingDownTheHills on

      Måske amerikanerne snart skulle få styr på deres skodland. Kæft hvor en tabernation.

    17. MySocksSuck on

      Åh, mand.. Er der ikke snart en voksen derovre, som kan sige ham imod, så han kan få et virkeligt saftigt slagtilfælde og konvertere til en permanent grøntsag?

      Vance er også idiot og bestemt ikke vores ven (manden er trods alt lige nu i Ungarn og får guffet gren af Orban). Men han forekommer i det mindste at være en *marginalt* mere rationel idiot. Og ja; barren er sat lavt. I know.

    19. Super-Proposal3701 on

      Så han er i sine følelsers vold, når han træffer politiske beslutninger?

      Så mandligt.

      Meget maskulin.

      Vældig stoisk.

      Hvis de bruger kernevåben mod Iran i nat. Så er det nærmest Mettes skyld… /s

    23. PinkieAsh on

      Den mand er så skide unhinged det er helt vildt.

      Elsker at resten af verden øjner muligheden for et samarbejde med Europa i stedet (måske med et endelig suk)

      klamme pedo svin gør stadig alt for at aflede opmærksomhed fra Trump filerne

    27. KakaoFugl on

      Han glemmer at international politik kræver allierede. Han er en kæmpe fiasko.

    29. kroghsen on

      Den mand starter snart 3. Verdenskrig og han lader stadigvæk som om det er alle andres skyld.
