How NATO Works at a Time of Trump's Greenland Threats

Donald Trump, former U.S. president, renewed a bid for Greenland on national security grounds and appointed Jeff Landry, Republican governor of Louisiana and U.S. envoy to Greenland, without consulting Denmark or Greenland.
Longstanding colonial grievances shape Greenlandic people’s distrust, with 85 percent opposing U.S. inclusion and Denmark’s 2025 apology for forced sterilizations reinforcing calls for independence.
After a social-media post, Greenlandic social-media users reposted images with their flag, while journalists reporting in Nuuk, Greenland, faced stranded flights and weary residents amid intense coverage.
Practical concerns include Greenlandic residents reporting exhaustion and heightened fear as the threat feels more real than last year, while hunters and communities in northern Greenland face disrupted supplies and delayed sea ice affecting the hunting season.
Looking at precedent, Donald Trump sought Greenland during his first term and was firmly refused, yet recent unilateral actions and muted global reactions have heightened Greenlanders' fears.
