"U.S. President Donald Trump said he is not worried about Russia preparing to escalate conflict in Europe. In response to a question from a reporter late Tuesday afternoon about Russian military buildup along the NATO borders of Finland and Norway, President Trump replied with seven words: "I don't worry about that at all." He continued: "It'll be very safe. Those are two countries, you're gonna be very safe." Reports emerged as early as late April that Russia was expanding its military presence near the Finland border. Meanwhile, Russian propagandists and officials alike have repeatedly threatened their European neighbors with the invasion of sovereign NATO territory. It came as Trump issued a chilling nuclear ultimatum to Iran."
