Jens knew what we were trying to do, and in a way, he supported it.”
While Stoltenberg has denied any direct involvement in the purchase talks, Trump’s comments reveal that NATO leaders may have quietly been on board with the idea of strengthening the U.S. presence in the Arctic. Analysts believe that NATO’s growing concerns over Russia’s military expansion in the region may have influenced Trump’s plans, even if the alliance did not officially endorse them.
