WASHINGTON. — US President Donald Trump has shared what he claimed was a private message from NATO chief Mark Rutte praising his work in global hotspots and pledging to help resolve the Greenland dispute.
The message, posted to Trump’s Truth Social account on Tuesday, came shortly after the US president announced he would meet world leaders to discuss Greenland at this week’s Davos World Economic Forum.
Trump has long sought control over Greenland, arguing the autonomous Danish territory is critical to US defence against Russia and China.
His push has caused friction with European NATO partners, who have rejected any change in Greenland’s status and warned that a US move on the Arctic island could mark the end of the bloc.
In the fawning message, Rutte praised Trump’s accomplishments in Syria, apparently referring to his defence of Kurdish rights following a ceasefire between their forces and Damascus, as well as his mediation efforts on Gaza and Ukraine.
“What you accomplished in Syria today is incredible. I will use my media engagements in Davos to highlight your work there, in Gaza, and in Ukraine,” Rutte purportedly wrote.
“I am committed to finding a way forward on Greenland. Can’t wait to see you. Yours, Mark.” — RT.com
