President-elect Donald Trump’s latest demands of America’s NATO partners—that they cede territory to the U.S. and spend more on defense than Washington itself does—risk undermining allies’ confidence and potentially emboldening adversaries.
NATO has taken over air defenses in Poland from the US just days before the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump, according to a NATO spokesman, with questions looming about the incoming administration’s approach to the alliance and to Ukraine.
The president-elect is suddenly pushing to annex Greenland, reclaim the Panama Canal and absorb Canada, provoking longtime allies just days before taking office.
President-elect Donald Trump made numerous false claims during a wide-ranging Tuesday news conference in Florida, many of them related to foreign affairs and international trade. Here is a fact check of some of these claims.
Republican U.S. President-elect Donald Trump held a press conference on Tuesday and spoke about a range of issues including NATO, Israeli hostages in Gaza, his wish for the U.S. to buy Greenland and take control of the Panama Canal.
Lago on Tuesday, president-elect Donald Trump marked the starting shot in what could be a make-or-break test for NATO over Ukraine, Greenland, and defence spending.
The transatlantic alliance reached a milestone in 2024 when all non-U.S. NATO allies spent the 2% target on average for the first time.
Trump’s fixation on Greenland is particularly odd, though not new. Back in 2018, he offered to buy it from Denmark, which controls the large, icy island as an autonomous territory. He was outraged when the Danish prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, turned him down, calling her “ nasty ” and canceling a state visit to Copenhagen.
President-elect Donald Trump said he is planning a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying he wants to end the "bloody mess" of the Ukraine war.
During the gathering at his Florida estate, Trump confirmed several shifts in government priorities, namely a planned meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Putin "wants to meet, and we're setting it up," he told attendees. Most reporters weren't invited to the proceedings, but questions were taken from a Fox News Channel journalist.
Americans have a dimmer view of Joe Biden’s presidency than they did at the end of Donald Trump’s first term or Barack Obama’s second.
