Estonia and Denmark Warn of Russian Military Build-Up Near NATO Borders

European leaders criticize former U.S. President Donald Trump's comments downplaying U.S. commitment to NATO, with EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell stating that NATO cannot be an a la carte military alliance. Trump's suggestion that the U.S. might not defend NATO allies who fail to meet defense spending obligations has drawn criticism from U.S. President Joe Biden and European defense and foreign ministers. German and Dutch officials express concern over Trump's comments, emphasizing the importance of NATO unity and collective defense. Fears grow that Trump's possible return to the White House could threaten Western solidarity against Russia's invasion of Ukraine, prompting discussions on ramping up security cooperation in Europe.
