U.S. President Donald Trump’s remarks and threats over Greenland have triggered sharp reactions across Europe, deepening tensions within NATO just days after the Venezuela operation. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer publicly rejected Trump’s suggestion of taking over Greenland, stressing that the island’s future lies solely with Greenland and Denmark, both close NATO allies. Denmark and Greenland have echoed the warning, cautioning that any U.S. move against a NATO member would fundamentally undermine the alliance. As Trump frames Greenland as vital to U.S. national security and his aides defend the proposal, European leaders are pushing back, raising questions over alliance unity, sovereignty, and the future of NATO amid growing transatlantic strain.
