AI Summary

medium article 3 min

Senator Chris Murphy warned that Donald Trump's interest in annexing Greenland could trigger the end of NATO. Murphy stated that a US military intervention in Greenland, a territory of Denmark, would obligate NATO to defend it, potentially leading to conflict with European allies. Trump has reportedly ordered a plan for a Greenland invasion, which is being resisted by military leaders. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen accused the US of turning its back on NATO and called an upcoming meeting between Danish and US officials crucial. European Union defense commissioner Andrius Kubilius echoed concerns, noting the EU's obligation to assist Denmark if attacked. A bipartisan group of US senators plans to visit Copenhagen to discuss the matter with Danish officials.
