Trump responded: "No, I don't agree. I don't agree. Not even a little bit."
Background:
- On 14 February, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that the Russians may be preparing aggression against NATO countries as early as next year.
- On 11 February, the Danish Defence Intelligence Service noted that Russia could be ready for a large-scale war in Europe within the next five years if the war in Ukraine were to end or freeze, and NATO refrains from rearming.
- After that, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte stated that if Russian leader Vladimir Putin were to attack the North Atlantic Alliance now, he would face inevitable defeat, but in a few years, Russia could pose a greater threat.
