‘We need to fight’: Trump Greenland threat brings sense of unity in Denmark

AI Summary

medium article 3 min

In January 2026, European leaders rallied in support of Greenland after President Trump renewed threats to seize the Danish territory. A joint statement from France, Germany, Britain, and other nations emphasized Greenland's sovereignty and its importance within NATO, urging the U.S. to respect international law. This show of solidarity follows Trump's suggestion of taking action against other countries, emboldened by his administration's capture of Nicolás Maduro. Trump has cited national security and Greenland's rare-earth mineral resources as justification for acquiring the territory. A Trump aide, Stephen Miller, argued for U.S. ownership and did not rule out military force, further escalating concerns in Europe and Denmark.
