00:00NATO Secretary General Mark Rutter insisted on Monday that Europe is in
00:05capable of defending itself without U.S. military support and would have
00:10to more than double current military spending targets, speaking at the European Parliament.
00:15Rutter told EU lawmakers that without the United States, Europe would
00:20lose the ultimate guarantor of its freedom.
00:25And if anyone thinks here, again, that the European Union or
00:30Europe as a whole can defend itself without the U.S., keep on dreaming.
00:34You can't.
00:35We need each other.

00:40within NATO over U.S. President Donald Trump's renewed threats in recent weeks.
00:45to annex Greenland, a semi-autonomous territory of NATO-allied Denmark.

00:55dropped its threats after a court framework for a deal over the mineral region
01:00which island was reached with Rutter's help.
