Greenland: Europe Needs the US, But Must Also Stand Up

The crisis that has erupted regarding Greenland is expected to force Europe to react to the demands of US President Donald Trump. Trump has pressured NATO countries to increase their defense spending and has questioned US support for Ukraine. His recent proposal to buy or acquire Greenland from Denmark has provoked strong reactions, as it concerns an issue of sovereignty. Europe, although dependent on the US for its security, recognizes the need to stand up and defend its rights. Denmark has made it clear that it will not cede Greenland, while European officials express their concern about US behavior.
