It’s very literally the only thing providing them protection in the first place. They have something the US can not lose and can not replace.
What on earth do you think is going to happen when you suddenly help them not rely on your infrastructure anymore.
There is no way in hell you could ever trust Trump to pick up the phone if you needed help. This is blackmail from a position of weakness from the US here.
