Former U.S. President Donald Trump has reignited his pursuit of Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory, escalating the situation by threatening tariffs on European allies who oppose his ambitions. This move has triggered a strong and unified response from Europe, which rejects any notion of territorial sale, emphasizing Denmark's sovereignty and Greenland's right to self-determination. The Council on Foreign Relations article highlights Europe's strategy of offering "everything but territory" to address perceived U.S. economic and security concerns, including proposals for increased NATO presence and investment deals. However, European leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron and various prime ministers, have unequivocally condemned Trump's tariff threats, labeling them "unacceptable" and a risk to transatlantic relations. Greenland holds significant strategic importance in the Arctic due to its critical location for missile detection, space surveillance, and access to emerging shipping routes and rare earth mineral deposits. The U.S. already operates Pituffik Space Base (formerly Thule Air Base) on the island under existing agreements with Denmark. Despite existing defense pacts and the fact that Greenland is not for sale, Trump's administration has reportedly considered direct payments to Greenlanders and has not ruled out military options, sparking international outrage. In response, several European nations have reportedly deployed small numbers of troops to Greenland, aiming to deter any potential forceful U.S. action and underscore European solidarity. European leaders are coordinating a united stance, with discussions underway to counteract the tariff threats and uphold international law.
