NATO, Donald Trump and Greenland
Digest more
The Trump administration has repeatedly said the U.S. should be in control of Greenland, which is part of Denmark and NATO.
Assuming there is an American move against Greenland, this would not be the first time two Nato allies have been at loggerheads. France pulled out of Nato’s military structures in the late-1960s over concerns about losing its foreign policy autonomy and possibly being drawn into the Vietnam war.
Poland's prime minister is worried about the strain the United States' threat to take over Greenland is putting on NATO, he said on Friday, adding that as a loyal ally Warsaw should be honest with Washington about its concerns.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has warned that the U.S takeover of Greenland would mean an end to the alliance.
There is a historical basis for ramping up the U.S. military presence in Greenland: during the Cold War, the U.S. had thousands of troops there.
