Trump repeats false claim that Chinese and Russian ships surround Greenland at NATO press conference

At a NATO summit press conference in Ankara, President Trump repeated the false claim that Greenland is surrounded by Chinese and Russian military ships. The assertion has been repeatedly debunked by independent experts, Danish and Greenlandic officials, and current and former U.S. officials. This follows a similar debunked claim in January 2026, escalating the pattern of disinformation. The press conference was part of a broader pattern of false claims during the summit, as noted by multiple outlets.
