The US Allies will not forget Trump's crisis with Greenland

After a successful military operation in Venezuela earlier this month, encouraged Donald Trump began to escalate the rhetoric on Greenland, writes BBC.

Day after day, the world faced claims of ownership, threats of military action and tariffs against traditional allies in Europe.

Now, in a cloud of visible smoke, everything may have disappeared, it transmits Telegragraphy.

Secretary - General NATO, Mark Rutte, seems to have persuaded the president to lower his dangerous level.

Last week, during a visit to Washington by the foreign ministers of Denmark and Greenland, it all ended with an agreement on a “working group” to discuss Greenland's future.

Rutte, however, seems to have skillfully resolved an issue that had threatened to destroy the North Atlantic alliance.

He still doesn't know the details of the deal, but many will wonder why he needed a two-week crisis to get here.

Denmark had long said that it was very happy to see an increasing American military presence in Greenland.

If NATO has now pledged to increase its presence on and around the island, then it will contribute to the security of Donald Trump that the alliance is finally paying due attention to Greenland.

The New York Times quoted anonymous officials as saying that an idea under discussion is for Denmark to relinquish sovereignty over small areas of Greenland, where the US would build military bases similar to the agreement the United Kingdom holds sovereign bases in Cyprus.

Trump said the deal would include access to Greenland's mineral resources.

Neither Denmark nor NATO have confirmed these or any other report.

NATO said discussions would focus on ensuring Arctic security through collective efforts, particularly seven Arctic Allies” (US, Canada, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland) and are aiming to prevent Russia and China from gaining a point of support, economic or military, in Greenland.

It won't be long before the details of the deal appear. But the fact that Donald Trump caused two weeks of high drama and a sense of existential crisis within NATO to get here will not be easily forgotten.

Canada's Prime Minister, Mark Carney, called it a “match”, saying the old rule “would not be returned”.
