U.S.-NATO Rift Over Greenland Keeps Getting Worse

The rift between the U.S. and NATO allies continues to grow over President Donald Trump’s repeated insistence on subsuming Greenland . Denmark is sending more troops and the head of its army to the strategically important, mineral-rich island, over concerns about Trump’s rhetoric.

Meanwhile, Europe debates economic responses to Trump’s rhetoric and the U.S. military appears to be making some moves of its own, although the exact reasons behind them remain murky. The strain on the alliance was exacerbated by Trump’s Sunday message to Norway’s prime minister , in which he linked his interest in Greenland to his not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize.
