President Donald Trump said that Denmark is not meeting its commitment to NATO after he slammed the Danish Prime Minister for her “nasty” comments in response to his administration exploring the purchase of Greenland.

“For the record, Denmark is only at 1.35 percent of GDP for NATO spending. They are a wealthy country and should be at 2 percent,” the president wrote on Twitter on Aug. 21.
