European NATO leaders have issued a joint statement that “Greenland belongs to its people” and it is for the Arctic island and Denmark only to decide on its future, after President Donald Trump’s administration reiterated its wish to take control of it.

The statement said that NATO and its allies had increased its activities and investment to make the Arctic a safe place and that Denmark and Greenland were part of that alliance.

    When will Europe stop pretending that NATO is mostly America. Without America, NATO is laughable.

    It doesn’t look like you want to seriously go into a war with America. You have your fingers crossed hoping Trump realised they shouldn’t attack another country cuz stealing land is bad.

    You do want to get in a serious war with Russia.

      I don’t want to get into any war, but Trump and Putin only respect countries they see as strong, and they see us as weak. The way to discourage their aggression is to show ourselves to be strong. By far the easiest way to do that is by liberating Ukraine. If we don’t even do that, how can they believe we’ll defend Greenland or Estonia?
