Tensions over Greenland are rising. According to the EU treaty, Denmark may request support from other member states if it is the victim of armed aggression on its territory.
The US is not beating around the bush: it wants Greenland. Denmark and Greenland – backed by the EU – have strongly rejected Washington’s “national security” claims and issued a stark warning against the possible collapse of NATO.
