Can NATO stop the inevitable? Sweden minister torches Trump's 'absurd' Greenland plan, mocks on cam

Published on Jan 21, 2026 12:02 am IST

Europe’s patience snapped as Sweden’s finance minister branded Donald Trump’s Greenland threat “totally absurd” and accused him of blackmailing allies. Arriving in Brussels, Elisabeth Svantesson urged unity, warning the EU must respond “precisely and strongly.” With Trump pledging 10% tariffs until Greenland is “purchased,” Brussels is now weighing a $93 billion “trade bazooka” against Washington. Leaders fear a dangerous spiral that could fracture NATO and overshadow Ukraine. As Europe debates counterstrikes, the Greenland standoff is fast becoming a test of whether the EU can stand up to U.S. pressure.
