NATO Discussing Next Steps to Ensure Arctic Stays Safe, Rutte Says

On Monday, NATO chief Mark Rutte said the alliance is discussing "next steps" to protect Arctic security around Greenland after President Donald Trump renewed threats to take the island.
Last week, European countries rallied around Denmark and Greenland, while the Government of Greenland on Monday urged NATO allies to improve strategic defence.
The U.S. currently operates one base on Greenland, Pituffik Space Base, and the White House has not ruled out military force while President Donald Trump said, `One way or the other, we're going to have Greenland`.
NATO diplomats reported ideas but no concrete proposals yet, as German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul is in Washington and Denmark and Greenland's foreign ministers prepare talks with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
With sovereignty contested, the Government of Greenland aims to develop defence under a NATO framework while Denmark's governing coalition rejects any U.S. takeover, and European officials say allies could bolster security.
