Trump throws shade at NATO amidst immigration debate: "We should have put them to the test."

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, once again stirred up social media this Friday with a message in which he joked about NATO's role, suggesting that the alliance should have been responsible for protecting his country's southern border against the influx of illegal immigrants.

"Perhaps we should have tested NATO: invoke Article 5 and force NATO to come here and protect our southern border from further invasions of illegal immigrants," the leader wrote on his official account on Truth Social.

The remark is a sarcastic criticism of European allies and a reaffirmation of his hardline stance on immigration.

In his view, if NATO had secured the U.S. southern border from "invasions of illegal immigrants," the current administration would be "freeing up a significant number of border patrol agents for other tasks."

The message suggests that taking that measure would have been beneficial for his administration, but he chose to resolve it with his own resources and not involve NATO. This has led to him now being questioned for making decisions that he considers essential for the security of the American people.

Trump traveled to Europe and opened negotiations about Greenland and the Arctic

This week, Trump made a quick trip to Europe to meet with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, and then announced the start of formal negotiations regarding the future of Greenland and the Arctic region.

"After a very productive meeting with the Secretary General of NATO, we have established the framework for a future agreement regarding Greenland and, indeed, the entire Arctic region," he noted in a statement.

He announced that, based on this new understanding, he will not impose the tariffs scheduled for February 1 and confirmed that conversations will continue regarding the strategic project called "Domo Dorado," linked to Greenland.

The president emphasized that the United States "will not ask for anything by force," but reminded that "Greenland was already administered by the United States after World War II." He highlighted that the island, "practically uninhabited and without defense," holds a key position between the United States, Russia, and China, making it a matter of national security interest.
