Italy’s Meloni rules out US military move on Greenland and urges stronger NATO role in Arctic
Italian PM Giorgia Meloni urged NATO to strengthen its Arctic presence to address U.S. security concerns and reduce risks of unilateral military actions, citing alliance cohesion.
- On Friday, Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni said she did not believe the United States would resort to military force to seize control of Greenland and stressed Italy would not support such a move.
- On Tuesday, the White House said the United States administration is weighing options including military action to control Greenland, a mineral-rich, strategically located region of NATO ally Denmark.
- Meloni said at her New Year press conference that international law must be fully defended and Italy's foreign policy rests on two pillars: Europe and the Atlantic Alliance.
- European leaders have defended Greenland's sovereignty alongside Denmark, while President Donald Trump has floated buying Greenland and renewed calls after recent U.S. military action in Venezuela.
- Meloni argued the Arctic's strategic importance, saying the Trump administration's assertive focus highlights Greenland and the Arctic region, and a reinforced NATO presence would ease U.S. concerns about rival actors.
