Did the NATO chief say Ukraine is American territory

Asked 13 hours ago

Answer

The NATO chief did not say Ukraine is American territory. A manipulated video falsely claimed this, but Mark Rutte only referenced 'square miles' to clarify measurements for American audiences, not to suggest US ownership of Ukrainian land.
