To me, I think it's over," said the US president, referring to the temporary ceasefire established under the memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed last month. "I don't want to deal with them.
Spain is a terrible partner in NATO. They don't participate, they don't pay. I don't want anything to do with Spain. Cut off all trade with Spain, please, including visits.
These people really love their countries. It’s not a rip-off, and we’re here to help them protect their country.
I was testing people. I was testing to see whether or not they’d be there because I’ve long said that we help them, but I’m not sure they’d be there for us.
He wants to end it, and Ukraine wants to end it, and we’re in talks, and we’ll see if we can get it ended. It’s a terrible thing. I ended eight wars and this was, in my opinion, going to be an easier one.
Spain doesn’t agree to anything, and you shouldn’t carry them. I don’t want to do any trade with them, alright?
I’m very upset with Nato, that we pay far, far too much.
They’re sick people. They’re led by sick people and they’re vicious, violent people. And if they had a nuclear weapon, they’d use it. As far as I’m concerned, it’s over.

Greenland is a big problem for us. It’s very important for the United States, but it’s not important for Denmark. We need it for protection of the world, not just the United States... it doesn’t help Denmark but it helps us.
Spain is a wasted cause. We don’t want to do any trade business with Spain anymore.
I’m very upset with Nato... because of what they did with Greenland, and... because of the fact that they didn’t want to help us with the number one state sponsor of terror, that’s Iran.
National right to carry. Yeah, we're working on it.
I really mean this, I want Kevin to be totally independent.
I’m going to let him do what he wants to do.
They’re scum. They’re sick people. They’re led by sick people. They’re vicious, violent people, and if they had a nuclear weapon they’d use it.
You would think they'd be very willing to do something to help us, and they really weren't.
