Meloni on Greenland: Military Intervention Would Benefit No One

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni stated that she does not believe there is a possibility of a US military intervention in Greenland, emphasizing that such a move would not benefit anyone, not even the United States. Meloni noted that the Trump administration is focused on the strategic importance of the Arctic and wants to limit the involvement of foreign powers in the region. Meloni added that this issue is being discussed both within NATO and the EU, and stressed the need for a serious exchange of views to reduce tensions. She urged Europe to work within NATO to strengthen the presence of the Atlantic Alliance in the Arctic. The Italian government plans to present its own strategy for the Arctic within the next month, focusing on security, research, and the protection of peace and cooperation. Meloni emphasized the need to prevent problems through a strong presence of NATO allies in the region. The statement by Meloni comes at a time of increased concern for security in the Arctic, as the region is gaining increasing strategic importance due to climate change and access to natural resources.
