President Donald Trump stated that the memorandum of understanding with Tehran appears to have ended, emphasizing his unwillingness to engage in future dealings with Iran, whose officials he described as "sick."

Speaking to journalists in Ankara on Wednesday, Trump accused the Iranians of being responsible for problems in the region and said the United States had "wasted a lot of time" dealing with Tehran.

The U.S. president reiterated that his country would not allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons.

Trump also expressed dissatisfaction with NATO's stance on both Iran and Greenland, asserting that the United States is not treated fairly within the alliance.

He noted that Washington has spent over one trillion dollars protecting NATO but claimed that the alliance has not supported the U.S. in confronting what he called "the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism."

Additionally, Trump stated that the United States contributes disproportionately to funding NATO compared to other members and identified Greenland as a "big issue" for Washington.
