Summary
NATO allies informally discussed deploying troops to Greenland after Trump threatened military action to seize the Danish territory.
Germany and other European nations explored possible responses, including invoking NATO’s Article 5, though it was ruled out due to US veto power.
Denmark pledged $1.5 billion to bolster Arctic security, while NATO considered expanding its presence.
Trump cites strategic concerns over Russian and Chinese influence and US missile defense. NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte acknowledged Arctic security needs but sought to defuse tensions.
NATO has no provision to remove members. It’s even worse than the EU where a single other member is enough to veto it.
Stop doing that, Western leaders. 3/4 vote should be enough for anything.
