Baltics dismiss fears about NATO fragility in the age of Trump
The Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania have expressed confidence in NATO's strength despite concerns raised during Donald Trump's presidency regarding U.S. commitments to the alliance.
In light of escalating tensions between Washington and its European allies, the Baltic nations have voiced their confidence in NATO’s resilience amidst fears about the alliance's fragility under the Trump administration. The worries stem from Trump's antagonistic rhetoric towards NATO and a historic threat he posed regarding Greenland’s territorial integrity. However, leaders from Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania believe that their security does not hinge solely on U.S. assurances, underscoring a commitment among NATO allies to collective defense, especially given their geographical vulnerabilities.
