In a recent Oval Office meeting, President Trump welcomed Finland's President Alexander Stubb, initially discussing the potential purchase of Finnish icebreaker ships. However, the conversation quickly turned to NATO, where Trump expressed frustration over Spain's refusal to commit to his proposed defense spending increase of 5% of GDP. Spain's exemption from this increase, secured during a NATO summit in June, has left Trump feeling that the alliance's unity is compromised. He suggested that Spain's position could warrant expulsion from NATO, reflecting his ongoing tensions with the country. In contrast, Trump praised Finland's military capabilities and reaffirmed the U.S. commitment to defend it against potential Russian aggression, despite expressing skepticism about the likelihood of such an invasion. This meeting underscores the complexities of NATO dynamics and the varying levels of commitment among its members.
