US EditionGreenland PM Dodges Question on Donald Trump Rhetoric
Trump’s Greenland annexation talk threatens NATO cohesion and European security, risking alliance splintering and legal breaches, EU officials warn.
- On Jan. 9, President Donald Trump said he would act on Greenland, calling ownership "psychologically needed" and not ruling out military force, including nuclear options.
- Since returning to the White House, President Donald Trump has repeatedly floated seizing Greenland, a resource-rich territory, to prevent Russia and China from gaining it, while White House aides challenge Denmark's claims.
- European and NATO officials responded that they will rally behind Denmark and defend Greenland's territorial integrity, with EU Commissioner for Defence Andrius Kubilius and NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte emphasizing collective protection.
- Observers say a forcible seizure would breach post‑WWII norms, elate China and Russia, and splinter alliances including European states and NATO, damaging world order.
- EU Commissioner Andrius Kubilius urged contingency planning and reminded European states of Article 42 of the EU treaty, emphasizing collective defence obligations.
