Trump’s Greenland push strains alliances as brinkmanship meets diplomacy

Trump has pressed to acquire Greenland for security leverage, highlighting its Arctic location, space assets, and potential resources, while retreating from talk of force and proposing a vague Arctic framework. Denmark and Greenland reject sovereignty transfers, European leaders warn against coercion, and US public support appears limited. Experts say invasion was never a real option, but the episode underscores Trump’s brinkmanship and risks worsening NATO/European trust and Arctic security dynamics.
