The European Union can help provide security for Greenland, should Denmark request it, the European Commissioner for Defence and Space said, warning that a U.S. military takeover of the island would be the end of NATO.

Trump’s threat to annex an autonomous part of Denmark has plunged NATO into an unprecedented situation: An alliance based on collective defense now faces the prospect that one member might attack another.

It’s not for peaceful purposes,” U,S, Air Force Gen. Alexus Grynkewich said. “They’re not studying the seals and the polar bears."

U.S. annexation would undo the transatlantic alliance, and cause irreparable damage to the E.U., writes Mujtaba Rahman.

Europe's defence sector has been reshaped since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, as governments increase spending on defence and plan to boost their military ranks almost four years into the conflict.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni reacted to Donald Trump's recent criticisms of NATO, asserting that proposals to cut transatlantic ties are impractical and harmful to European security. , US News,
