EU Commissioner: NATO will end if Trump invades Greenland

A US military invasion of Greenland would mean the end of NATO, said Defence Commissioner Andrius Kubilius, echoing the view of Danish leader Mette Frederiksen.

"I agree with the Danish prime minister that this will be the end of NATO, but also among people it will be very, very negative,"  Kubilius said at a security conference in Sweden.

The island is a largely autonomous part of Denmark. President Donald Trump has said the US needs Greenland for its security and that it should be owned by Washington to prevent Russia and China from taking it.

He added that a US military presence there is not enough to keep out Moscow and Beijing. Kubilius's words mark the first time a senior EU official has publicly supported Frederiksen's position, although EU diplomats privately agree with her.

Trump was asked in a two-hour interview with the New York Times on January 7 whether buying Greenland was more important to him than preserving the military alliance. The US leader did not answer the question directly, but acknowledged that his administration may have to choose between the two. /CNA
