Donald Trump’s renewed push to control Greenland has sent shockwaves across Europe – and exposed just how fragile the transatlantic alliance has become.
Washington is framing ownership of the Arctic island – rich in untapped resources – as a national security imperative. But western allies see something more troubling: a challenge to sovereignty, international law, and the foundations of NATO itself.
Former Latvian Prime Minister Krisjanis Karins warns of a “turning point” with the United States moving “away from its traditional role” as a country that stands behind the rule of law.
And former NATO Director of Policy Planning Fabrice Pothier is even more blunt arguing that the United States is “no longer a reliable ally” and the “fundamental political trust between Europe and the US has been shattered”.
As Trump’s Greenland gambit collides with European sovereignty, this episode asks a stark question: is the US-led rules-based order already over – and is this the beginning of the end of NATO as we know it?
