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.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said on Thursday that he is working to persuade US President-elect Donald Trump to ease access for European partners to US weapons systems. Rutte told dpa that European allies are already investing hundreds of billions of dollars in the US defence industry.

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.

Mr Lammy told the BBC that he believes Mr Trump’s comments earlier in the week about Greenland come from his concerns about US economic security.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President-elect Donald Trump said on Tuesday he sympathized with the Russian position that Ukraine should not be part of NATO, and he lamented that he will not meet Russian President Vladimir Putin before his inauguration.

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.

A leader willing to make veiled threats at a NATO ally as part of an imperialistic pursuit is not a leader who can be counted on for responsible restraint.

Donald Trump’s announcement that he not only wants the Danish territory of Greenland but that he might use military force and economic coercion to get it has caused shock in Copenhagen.

But the Foreign Secretary played down the prospect of a conflict between Trump’s America and Europe over Greenland

A call for much higher arms spending and the threat of grabbing allies’ land dial up pressure on members.
