NATO to Discuss the Defense of Greenland: Germany's Statement After Trump's Words.

According to ТСН: Greenland, which is part of Denmark, is also a member of NATO. Thus, the Alliance is ready to discuss the issue of its defense if necessary.

This was stated by Germany's Foreign Minister Heiko Maas, emphasizing that if Denmark is a member of NATO, then Greenland 'principally also needs to be defended by NATO.'

Defense Efforts Regarding Greenland

The German diplomat noted: 'If further demands arise to strengthen defense efforts concerning Greenland, we will have to discuss this together within the Alliance.'

Statements by Donald Trump

Recall that after the military operation in Venezuela, former U.S. President Donald Trump expressed the opinion that he 'really needs Greenland.' He emphasized that this island is strategically important for the defense of the U.S., as it is surrounded by Russian and Chinese ships, making Greenland crucial for the country's security.

Danish Resistance

Denmark, which owns the island, firmly condemned Trump's new statements. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen stressed that the U.S. has no right to annex any of the three countries of the Danish Kingdom. She emphasized that any attempt to seize Greenland by military means would be a catastrophe for NATO.

This situation underscores the tension in international relations related to territorial security in the region. The clear support for Greenland by NATO and Denmark's determination to defend its territory highlight the importance of cooperation within the Alliance in the face of global challenges.
