Donald Trump has reignited global controversy after warning that Denmark is incapable of protecting Greenland from what he described as an escalating Russian threat in the Arctic, remarks that have sent shockwaves through NATO and Europe. The US president argued that Greenland's strategic location makes it vital to American and allied security, framing the issue as a matter of defence rather than diplomacy. His comments have revived fears of a transatlantic rift at a time when Arctic geopolitics are becoming increasingly tense.
While there has been no military invasion or formal move to seize Greenland, European officials say Trump's language signals an unprecedented challenge to Danish sovereignty and existing NATO norms.
