US President Donald Trump on Wednesday reminded NATO of its Secretary General Mark Rutte’s “daddy” remarks about him from last year, but ended up mixing Greenland with Iceland in a renewed push for acquiring the Danish autonomous territory.
Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Trump said NATO “loved” him until “a few days ago, calling Rutte “a very smart man” for his remarks about the Republican.
“I am helping Europe, NATO. Until the last few days, when I told them about Iceland, they loved me. They called me daddy. A very smart man said he is our daddy. He is running it. I went from running it to being a terrible human being. But now what I am asking for is a piece of ice. Cold and poorly located that can play a vital role in world peace and world protection,” Trump said in his Davos speech.
According to Trump, the ask for Greenland, which he mixed up with Iceland, was “simple” compared to what the US has “given NATO”.
