Trump’s Greenland deal, explained  – POLITICO

Eight months after Donald Trump almost destroyed NATO by threatening to annex Greenland — by force, if necessary — he signed what he called a “fantastic” new deal that would give the U.S. all the control and military access it needs over the Danish territory.

European allies were so alarmed by Trump’s apparent determination to take the territory at the start of the year — and his threat of 25% tariffs on anyone who got in his way — that they began talking about a future for the West without America. In many ways, the transatlantic relationship has not been the same since.
