GOP Rep. McCaul says a US invasion of Greenland would mean 'war with NATO itself'
Rep. McCaul says military action to acquire Greenland could dissolve NATO; US has treaty-based military access, while only 17% of Americans support the plan, according to Ipsos.
- Jan 15 Reuters reported that President Donald Trump revived a push to acquire Greenland, a territory of the Kingdom of Denmark, after returning to the White House amid unresolved high-level meetings in Washington, D.C.
- Officials cited resource and supply-chain concerns, with Ambassador Matthew Whitaker arguing Greenland aids missile interception and sea-passage monitoring, while President Trump called ownership psychologically needed.
- Following the rebuke, the U.S. cancelled a state visit after Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Greenland's Jens-Frederik Nielsen insisted the island was not for sale.
- NATO officials said the dispute raised anxiety about military capacity, while Denmark warned any U.S. action against Greenland could end NATO and trigger Article 5 concerns.
- China and Russia have increased their Arctic presence through investment and naval activity, while Greenland's critical minerals face extraction limits from ice cover and past drilling, and European leaders rallied to support Denmark.
