00:02As the NATO summit enters its final day in Turkey, President Trump says he's not happy with some of America's
00:09allies.
00:09Trump criticized NATO countries for what he called their lack of support during the Iran conflict,
00:15then renewed his call for the U.S. to take control of Greenland.
00:19The president also revived his threat to pull American troops out of Europe over the issue.
00:24— Greenland doesn't help Denmark. Denmark doesn't spend money to really help Greenland.
00:32But it's an important part for the United States. And it's surrounded by China ships and Russian ships.
00:39And that's not going to happen. The ships is not going to happen.
00:43It was Greenland that in my and it continues to be that should be controlled by the United States, not
00:50by Denmark.
00:51And when they wouldn't go along with it, and with all the money we spend to help them with Russia,
00:56and we don't have to spend any money, we could remove all of our soldiers out of Europe.
01:02— Denmark's prime minister fired back saying Greenland is not for sale,
01:06and calling on NATO allies to stand together in defense of the alliance.
01:11— I think the U.S. position is unfortunately very clear on this topic.
01:17— And our position is as clear as it has been all through.
01:23Greenland is, of course, not for sale.
01:25— We are ready to defend every inch of NATO, including our own territory.
01:32But one of the reasons why we have built NATO many, many years ago is if anything happens to one
01:39of us,
01:40then everybody should stand up for each other.
01:42— Trump also singled out Spain, calling it a terrible partner over its refusal to support U.S.
01:49actions against Iran, and revived an earlier threat to cut-off trade.
01:53At the same time, he praised Turkey as a stronger ally than some European countries,
01:58announcing he will lift sanctions on Ankara, and will consider allowing Turkey to buy F-35 fighter jets again,
02:04a move some NATO allies, including Greece, are urging him to reconsider.
