Nato alliance at risk from Donald Trump's tariff threat on allies backing Denmark, says Danish foreign minister
The Nato alliance is at risk from US president Donald Trump’s tariff threat on Nato allies backing Denmark against his goal to seize control of Greenland, Danish foreign minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen said today.
The global geopolitical order “as we know it” and Nato’s “future” were at stake, he said during a visit to Norway, one of the countries also targeted by Trump’s threat.
“I have no doubt there is strong European support” for Denmark in the row, he said during a news conference, adding that Europe is stronger “when we collectively show muscle.”
