JAKARTA - US President Donald Trump, who is deeply disappointed with NATO, is back on the move after the US-Iran ceasefire agreement by spreading a new threat to annex Greenland.
Using his capital hufuf through his social media platform Truth Social, Trump again criticized NATO for refusing to join the US-Israeli war against Iran.
"NATO IS NOT THERE WHEN WE NEED THEM, AND THEY WILL NOT BE THERE IF WE NEED THEM AGAIN. REMEMBER GREENLAND, THE BIG ISLAND THAT IS GOVERNED BY THE BAD ONE!!!" he wrote on Thursday, April 9 WIB.
Trump has repeatedly insulted NATO and also threatened several times to seize Greenland from Denmark, which is a NATO member.
Trump's earlier intentions towards Greenland have raised concerns from US allies in the EU and NATO.
Trump's latest threat was delivered after meeting with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte at the White House on Wednesday, April 8 local time.
After the closed-door meeting, White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said Trump believed NATO had "failed the test" during the Iran war.
"It is very sad that NATO has turned its back on the American people over the past six weeks, when it is the American people who have funded their defense," Leavitt told reporters.
