After Venezuela betrayal, Congress members lecture Trump over Greenland plans threatening NATO ties

Denmark and Greenland have sought a meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio after the Trump administration renewed its interest in taking control of the strategic Arctic island — a self-governing Danish territory covered by NATO and the EU. European leaders have strongly rejected any suggestion that the U.S. could seize Greenland, stressing the island “belongs to its people” and warning that any forced takeover could undermine the transatlantic alliance. Rubio plans to meet Danish and Greenlandic officials next week amid rising diplomatic tensions and concerns about Arctic security and alliance cohesion following Washington’s intervention in Venezuela.
