TRUMP WARNED: EUROPE COULD SEIZE US BASSES IF IT WENT AHEAD TO ANNEX GREENLAND.
U.S. President Donald Trump has been warned that any renewed push to take control of Greenland could trigger a sharp response from European allies, including the possibility of seizing U.S. military bases in Europe.
Self-proclaimed chair of Austria’s NATO Enlargement Committee, Gunther Fehlinger-Jahn, has warned Trump against such a move, underscoring the rising tensions over sovereignty, alliance unity, and security in the Arctic.
Recently, during rallies and interviews, President Trump has described Greenland as a critical asset for U.S. security and resource dominance, echoing his 2019 proposal.
Denmark, which governs Greenland, firmly rejected the proposal, insisting the territory is not for sale and that its people have the right to determine their own future. The idea was widely criticized across Europe as unrealistic and diplomatically reckless.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has urged the U.S. to stop what has been described as threats against a historically close ally and reaffirmed that Greenland is not for sale.
“I strongly urge the United States to cease its threats against a historically close ally, and against another country and another people who have stated very clearly that they are not for sale,” the statement read.
Denmark has further stated that it is determined to resist any external pressure regarding Greenland’s status.
Now, with Trump once again making headlines and signaling a more aggressive approach to U.S. foreign policy, European officials have rejected his plans.
