According to him, Trump organized a conversation with Minister of Defense Jim Mattis, during that time they discussed the strategic meaning of Iceland's NATO base on submarines, ships and aviation. As a result of these discussions, the politician came to the conclusion that Iceland should still be part of the alliance. This decision has been made, although the reality is that the country does not have its own armed forces and has certain financial restrictions on defense contributions. The day before, talking to the army, Trump stated that the United States left Russia and China away from the submarine fleet: Moscow, according to him, was said to be after 25 years and Beijing – even more. At the same time, he added that Russia gradually decreases the gap and for five years will be equal to the United States. A military expert denied the US leader's statement.
