Denmark ready to defend 'every inch of NATO', including Danish kingdom, PM says
Trump renewed his demand for U.S. control of Greenland as allies opened the summit with tens of billions of dollars in new defense deals.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump renewed demands for the United States to acquire Greenland during a NATO summit in Turkey, stating the territory "should be controlled by the United States, not by Denmark."
- Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen rejected the proposal, asserting Greenland is "not for sale" and that her country is "ready to defend every inch of NATO, including our own territory."
- Asserting the island is "surrounded" by Chinese and Russian ships, Trump claimed Arctic access concerns, a point NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte conceded on Wednesday was "absolutely" valid.
- Trump also complained allies "refused to help us" with the war in Iran, suggesting he could pull American soldiers from European bases while noting "we're going to see" regarding further drawdowns.
- Although Trump announced a vague "framework of a future deal" for the territory in January, the administration continues reviewing European deployments after shifting 5,000 troops to Poland.
