Trump claimed he saved NATO alone, sparking backlash from European leaders who called the assertion false.

Trump claimed on Truth Social that he single-handedly saved NATO, asserting the alliance would have collapsed without his leadership. His remarks, made ahead of the World Economic Forum in Davos, drew strong pushback from European leaders who dismissed the claim as inaccurate and destabilizing. The comments coincided with heightened tensions over Trump’s proposal to acquire Greenland, opposition from NATO allies, and concerns about U.S.-European relations.
