There was an air of optimism at the beginning of the latest NATO summit, but according to Politico, allied leaders have “soured” after President Donald Trump used the occasion to revive his fixation with acquiring Greenland.<\/p>\n

A minor curiosity during his first term, Trump’s desire to annex Greenland as a U.S. territory exploded into a full-blown obsession during his second term, claiming that the acquisition is necessary for vague “national security” reasons and, at one point, refusing to rule out the use of military force to seize the island. The issue peaked early this year, with European allies staunchly refusing to support that idea, and warning that military action against Greenland, a sovereign territory of member nation Denmark, could cause NATO to implode for good.<\/p>\n

During his visit to the ongoing NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey, Trump reiterated his desire to annex Greenland, despite previous reports that an understanding had been reached to bring about an end to the issue.<\/p>\n

“Greenland \u2026 should be controlled by the United States, not by Denmark,” Trump remarked as the summit kicked off, later adding, “I\u2019m not happy with NATO because of what they did with Greenland.”<\/p>\n

Initially, visiting leaders expressed optimism about the summit, with Polish President Karol Nawrocki saying, “I\u2019m sure that we will solve the problems around the many international issues,” and NATO chief Mark Rutte stressing, “When it comes to Denmark and Greenland itself, we have a good process in place.”<\/p>\n

The U.S. president’s comments appeared to blow up those good feelings, however, with Politico noting that leaders are now “sending a clear signal for Trump to back off.”<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are ready to defend every inch of NATO, including our own territory,\u201d Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen told the press upon her arrival at the summit. \u201cOne of the reasons why we built NATO many, many years ago is if anything happens to one of us then everybody should stand up for each other.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cThat type of statement, that type of claim, Norway distances itself from,\u201d Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr St\u00f8re said. \u201cWe support Denmark, and we support stability in the Nordics.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe lines in the sand are clear: Greenland belongs to the people of Greenland,\u201d Icelandic premier Kristr\u00fan Frostad\u00f3ttir told reporters.<\/p>\n
