US president repeats his desire for the territory; EU defence commissioner says attempt to take Greenland by force would mark end of Nato

Meanwhile, EU defence commissioner Andrius Kubilius warned that it would be the end of Nato if the US took Greenland by force, as he stressed that EU members would also be under obligation to come to Denmark’s assistance, Reuters reported.

“I agree with the Danish prime minister that it will be the end of Nato, but also among people it will be also very, very negative,” commissioner Kubilius told Reuters at a security conference in Sweden.

“Now, maybe another president would feel differently, but so far I’ve been right about everything.”
