Trump has a plan. But he doesn’t let just anybody in on it.
And now Donald Trump shocked NATO into silence with one bold move.
Trump’s Ingenious Idea: Testing NATO’s Loyalty with Article 5 for Border Defense
President Donald Trump showcased his strategic brilliance once again by proposing a clever way to hold NATO accountable, suggesting the U.S. could have invoked Article 5 to enlist alliance forces in securing America’s southern border against illegal immigration surges.
In a sharp Truth Social post, Trump highlighted how this move would have exposed the one-sided nature of the alliance while bolstering U.S. security efforts.
His comments come as he continues to reshape global partnerships, ensuring allies pull their weight and prioritize American interests in an era of mounting threats.
“Maybe we should have put NATO to the test: Invoked Article 5, and forced NATO to come here and protect our Southern Border from further Invasions of Illegal Immigrants, thus freeing up large numbers of Border Patrol Agents for other tasks.”
Trump followed up with another post underscoring America’s unwavering support for NATO, even amid doubts about reciprocal commitment: “We will always be there for NATO, even if they won’t be there for us.”
Greenland Deal Triumph: Trump’s Diplomacy Strengthens NATO and U.S. Arctic Dominance
Amid his visionary push to secure Greenland for enhanced Arctic security, President Trump met with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland, emerging with a promising “framework of a future deal regarding Greenland.”
Describing it as “a great one for the United States of America, and all NATO Nations,” Trump’s negotiation prowess led him to cancel planned 10% tariffs on goods from NATO countries deploying troops to the region—set to start February 1—demonstrating his ability to use leverage for mutual gains.
This bold strategy counters aggressive moves by Russia and China in the high north, proving Trump’s leadership is revitalizing the alliance on America’s terms.
Rutte’s Praise Affirms Trump’s Legacy in Boosting NATO’s Strength and Readiness
In an exclusive Fox News interview, NATO chief Mark Rutte lauded President Trump’s transformative impact on defense spending, crediting him for elevating commitments from the longstanding 2% GDP target to an ambitious 5% on defense and national security infrastructure.
Rutte’s endorsement highlights how Trump’s tough-love approach has awakened Europe and Canada to real-world threats, making the alliance tougher and more prepared than ever. Aligning with Trump’s focus on Arctic vulnerabilities from adversaries like Russia and China, Rutte’s words reinforce why Trump’s no-nonsense style delivers results where others falter.
“I would argue tonight with you on this program he was the one who brought a whole of Europe and Canada up to this famous 5%.”
