US EditionNATO chief says he has spoken to Trump about ‘security situation in Greenland’
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte discussed Arctic security with Trump amid US tariff threats on eight European countries over Greenland, raising transatlantic tensions.
- Earlier this week NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte spoke with President Donald Trump about security in Greenland and the Arctic, amid European leaders contacting Trump directly on the issue.
- US President Donald Trump tied national security claims to a push for US control of Greenland, threatening tariffs on goods from France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and Finland starting 1 February with increases to 25% in June.
- European governments issued a joint warning Sunday that tariff threats risk a dangerous downward spiral, with the UK, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden united while Ed Davey said the PM's `US policy lies in tatters` and urged de-escalation.
- NATO allies face a potential rupture as the Greenland dispute escalates; analysts warn it risks the most serious crisis in trans-Atlantic relations, while Greenland is protected by NATO's Article 5 and tariffs would harm European economies targeted by tariffs.
- At Davos this week, European leaders will urge NATO cooperation with the US on High North security, pressuring Denmark to seek compromise as melting ice opens the Arctic as a strategic frontier.
