Stubb, Trump hold telephone conversation, discuss NATO

President Alexander Stubb on Wednesday held a telephone conversation with US President Donald Trump and discussed various issues including NATO. “Spoke with US President Donald Trump. Constructive discussion and exchange of ideas on Nato, Ukraine and Iran. Problems are there to be solved, pragmatically,” Stubb wrote in a post on his social media platform X. The President, however, did not divulge detail about their discussion. Earlier on Wednesday, a leading British newspaper The Telegraph reported that U.S. President Donald Trump said he is strongly considering pulling the United States out of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) after the alliance failed to join the attacks on Iran. When asked if he would reconsider America's membership in the alliance after the conflict, he said the question is "beyond reconsideration," adding: "I was never swayed by NATO. I always knew they were a paper tiger." Trump also expressed dissatisfaction with NATO for "not being there," saying it was "actually hard to believe."
