Trump's Greenland Ambition Could End NATO, Warns Eurasia Group Chief Ian Bremmer
- •Ian Bremmer, President and Founder of Eurasia Group, warns that Donald Trump's persistent push for Greenland could lead to the "end of NATO."
- •Bremmer argues that Trump's desire to put his "name on the territory" is unpopular, unnecessary for US national security, and strains transatlantic ties.
- •European allies and Denmark strongly oppose Trump's territorial ambitions, viewing them as a move away from collaborative alliance diplomacy.
- •Recent talks between Danish, Greenlandic, and US officials were constructive, with Denmark emphasizing sovereignty, but Trump's stance remains unchanged.
- •Trump's unilateralist approach and threats to take Greenland have prompted European leaders to consider trade countermeasures and an emergency EU summit.
Why It Matters: Trump's pursuit of Greenland risks fracturing NATO and alienating key European allies, according to Ian Bremmer.
