Trump urges NATO members to spend 5% of GDP on defense
Tuesday, 7 January 2025 () Donald Trump has called on NATO members to boost their defense spending, underlining his long-standing belief that countries are not paying their share.
President-elect Donald Trump’s interest in buying Greenland mirrors the U.S. acquisition of Alaska in 1867 for $7.2 million. While the Alaska deal faced criticism, it proved successful after the Klondike Gold Strike. Trump’s proposal would require negotiations with Denmark and compensation for Greenland’s 57,000 residents. The last U.S. territory purchase was in 1917 with the Danish West Indies, and acquiring Greenland would likely involve economic incentives or treaties.

Canada has strongly rejected former U.S. President Donald Trump’s suggestion that the U.S. could "buy" Canada, instead offering a bold and humorous counter-proposal: “How about we buy Alaska?” Ontario Premier Doug Ford, in a lighthearted remark, made it clear that Canada would never fall under U.S. control, dismissing Trump’s comments as jokes. Ford, in a public statement, emphasized the importance of Canada maintaining its sovereignty, stressing that the relationship between the two nations should focus on resolving trade issues through dialogue rather than drastic measures like annexation.

Donald Trump has sharply criticized President Joe Biden for mishandling tensions between Russia, Ukraine, and NATO, accusing the U.S. leader of sparking the ongoing war in Ukraine. Trump argued that Biden's push for Ukraine to join NATO, despite Russia's long standing opposition, was a key trigger for the conflict. He claimed that Washington violated a prior understanding with Russia regarding NATO's expansion limits, setting the stage for what he described as a "disaster" that could have been avoided. Trump further warned that the conflict could escalate and worsen, and expressed regret that preventing the war in 2022 would have been easier than resolving it now. He also reiterated his belief that he could broker a resolution, albeit acknowledging the complexity of the situation.
