Denmark said its armed forces are legally required to respond to any attack on Greenland, even if the aggressor is a NATO ally such as the United States, escalating tensions after U.S. President Donald Trump refused to rule out the use of force to secure the Arctic island. Following talks in Washington with Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen said Copenhagen rejected any proposals that undermined Danish sovereignty or Greenland’s right to self-determination. The standoff has raised concerns inside NATO, as Greenland is covered under the alliance’s Article 5 collective defence clause, with European allies increasing their military presence in the Arctic amid fears of an unprecedented internal alliance crisis.#greenlandcrisis, #nato, #denmark, #donaldtrump, #usforeignpolicy, #article5, #arcticsecurity, #natotensions, #geopolitics, #worldnews, #europeansecurity, #greenland, #natocrisis
