‘Greenland belongs to its people’ Europe unites against Trump’s arctic ambition; end of NATO nears?
Europe has closed ranks behind Denmark and Greenland after renewed remarks by Donald Trump about acquiring the Arctic island following the U.S. operation in Venezuela. Denmark has warned that any U.S. takeover of Greenland would spell the end of NATO, calling the idea a direct threat to sovereignty. Greenland’s leadership has bluntly rejected what it calls Trump’s “annexation fantasies,” insisting the island belongs to its people. European leaders, including the UK, have voiced rare unity, stressing Arctic security must be decided collectively with NATO allies. The European Commission, however, stopped short of openly rebuking Trump, fueling questions over diplomatic balancing as tensions rise.
