"I doubt President Trump will withdraw from NATO."

"I do not expect Trump to withdraw from NATO."

"Donald Trump wants NATO to be strong. He wants us to remain in NATO."

America's there "100 percent [if NATO allies pay their fair share]."

"He might try to pull the United States out of NATO."

"In a second Trump term, we'd almost certainly withdraw from NATO."

Trump "talked many times about getting out of NATO behind closed doors and publicly. So that's just a fact."

"Trump is setting up the pretext for cutting off aid to Ukraine and pulling the US out of NATO."

"Ukrainians will not give their land to the occupier."

"It is impossible. Russia has never discussed and will not discuss the topic of exchanging its territory."

"Ukraine is not going to evict every Russian, and Russia is not going to Kyiv, so there will be some land swaps at the end."

"Ukraine is going to have to cede some territory to the Russians."

"There'll be some swapping of territories to the betterment of both [Ukraine and Russia]."

Will Zelenskyy Swap Territory/Cede Land to End the War?

NATO allies committed to providing Ukraine with an additional $35 billion in military aid, U.K. Defense Secretary John Healey told a press conference following a meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group at the alliance's headquarters on Thursday.

From that figure, it said £390 million would go towards the delivery of 1,000 Lightweight Multirole Missiles while £150 million would go towards the NATO Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) scheme in which countries purchase weapons for Ukraine from the U.S.

Meanwhile, coming in the wake of <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.verity.news/story/2026/trump-threatens-tariffs-on-nations-over-greenland-deal">recent tensions between the U.S. and Europe on Greenland</a>, European officials downplayed the absence of U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth from the meeting after Under Secretary of Defense Elbridge Colby attended in his place.

Meanwhile, coming in the wake of recent tensions between the U.S. and Europe on Greenland, European officials downplayed the absence of U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth from the meeting after Under Secretary of Defense Elbridge Colby attended in his place.

Colby said NATO should be based on "partnership rather than dependency," and called on European countries to play a leading role in the defense of the continent.

In an effort that appeared to be aimed at keeping U.S. President Donald Trump on side, NATO announced Arctic Sentry — a mission that pledged to step up defenses in the Arctic Circle. Trump had previously said his ambitions to take Greenland were linked to concerns over national security.

The latest financial pledges from NATO countries is a clear message to Russian President Vladimir Putin that allies remain as committed as ever to protecting Ukraine. These measures will continue to put pressure on Putin and ensure that 2026 is the year that the his invasion of Ukraine ends.

Multi-billion dollar weapons packages will make little difference in the outcome of the war. What we're witnessing is a geopolitical ponzi scheme to benefit those aligned with the military-industrial complex. War is a lucrative racket.
