Recent events in the Arctic region have brought discussions about the US's intention to gain control over Greenland back to the forefront. This issue is being assessed as a serious step that could lead to new tensions in international relations. Greenland's strategic importance and the US's interest in this region are factors that could alter the balance of power in global politics.
According to Redaksiya, citing EADaily, Sky News journalist Deborah Haines stated on her "X" social media account that Donald Trump intends to acquire Greenland from Denmark. Haines emphasized that Trump's move could cause dissatisfaction among NATO allies, warning that such a step could destroy the alliance. According to the journalist, Trump believes no European country will attempt to stop him by force, as such an attempt would result in defeat.
Haines also notes that it will be difficult to oppose the US taking over Arctic territories, as other NATO members need the US more than they need them. The journalist highlights that the increasing dependence of NATO countries on US military power, weapons, and technology dangerously weakens the transatlantic alliance's ability to defend itself without US participation. This dependence could prevent European countries from effectively resisting if the US seeks to gain control over Greenland.
According to the "EADaily" publication, Washington could establish control over Greenland in the coming months without the need for military operations. This information was also published in "Politico." Such a move would further strengthen the US's position in the international arena and could lead to new tensions in the Arctic region. Greenland's strategic importance increases the US's interest in this region, which could lead to greater political and military confrontations in the future.
