Trumps Greenland threats do real damage to alliances and benefit Putin, warns senior US senator - Europe live
Guardian6 days
Pursuing a closer bond with Greenland boosts U.S. security by securing rare earth metals and countering Russian moves in the Arctic. International law supports this since Greenland can choose association with the U.S. through a referendum, fitting precedents like Puerto Rico or free association deals.
Greenland stays firmly under Denmark as its people reject any shift toward the U.S. Deploying more NATO troops underscores the commitment to defend against such overreach, while stalled talks highlight the dead end of forced ownership. Respecting Greenland's choice will strengthen NATO and curb President Trump's reckless aggression.
