21 hours ago
ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — President Donald Trump insists the United States should control Greenland instead of Denmark, remarks that are likely to rattle NATO allies and raise tensions during the two-day summit in Ankara, Turkey. He claims the island is crucial for the U.S. and falsely states it’s surrounded by Chinese and Russian ships. Trump made these comments during a meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Meanwhile, Trump announced the U.S. will lift sanctions on Turkey related to its purchase of a Russian missile defense system. This decision could ease Turkey's reentry into the F-35 fighter jet program. NATO also announced billions in military projects to address Trump's concerns about defense spending.
