No Oval Office made-for-TV drama as U-S vice president JD Vance joined U-S Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the foreign ministers of Greenland and Denmark. We’ll ask about renewed pressure by the Trump administration on Copenhagen to hand over that Arctic dependency.
How intent is the U-S on seizing Greenland? Even if it means the end the Atlantic Alliance that’s safeguarded Europe’s defense under U-S tutelage since the end of World War Two? It’s hard to see how NATO could survive coercive action against a faithful ally by its dominant member. Donald Trump stated his intentions on Inauguration Day nearly one year ago yet still the question begs: Why Greenland? Is it about securing maritime passages, untapped raw materials, muscle flexing or simply the fun of keeping everyone guessing. But as Denmark’s prime minister says, it’s not fun. It’s serious.
