Europe Rejects Trump's Greenland Push, Draws Red Lines Against Blackmail
- •European leaders are openly resisting President Trump's renewed push for US control of Greenland, drawing firm boundaries and rejecting what they call blackmail.
- •The shift in tone comes after Trump declared the US "absolutely" must govern Greenland and hinted at consequences for opposing countries.
- •Leaders like British PM Keir Starmer and Norwegian PM Jonas Gahr Støre affirmed Greenland's sovereignty, with Støre stating, "Threats have no place among allies."
- •This tougher stance reflects a growing realization that appeasement was ineffective, compelling European nations to confront a NATO ally over territorial sovereignty.
- •Despite Trump's threats of import taxes, European unity and his domestic vulnerabilities led him to back down, though Denmark maintains sovereignty is non-negotiable.
Why It Matters: Europe united to reject Trump's Greenland demands and threats, asserting sovereignty and alliance principles.
