Global stability stands at a precarious juncture as British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer warns that talks within NATO on a possible UK military presence in Greenland form part of a broader effort to safeguard international order, while former US President Donald Trump's forceful foreign policy rhetoric stokes deep concern among European allies.
Sir Starmer's interventions reflect mounting anxiety in Western capitals that strategic competition in the Arctic could unravel decades of cooperation. His comments come amid an extraordinary diplomatic rupture with Washington over statements by Mr Trump that have been widely interpreted by allies as threatening to use military means to secure Greenland, a semi-autonomous Danish territory central to Arctic security and a part of a fellow NATO member.
