European nations are doubling down on support for Greenland after renewed U.S. interest in controlling the Arctic territory, with Danish officials calling recent tensions "the dumbest war in history."
Rasmus Jarlov, chair of Denmark's Defence Committee, slammed former U.S. President Donald Trump's repeated claims about Greenland during a fiery Sky News interview this week: "This is like claiming the moon because you like cheese – completely absurd."
The comments come as British Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander confirmed NATO allies are discussing potential military coordination, telling reporters: "We always plan for stability in allied regions."
Greenland residents have consistently rejected foreign control since Trump first floated the idea during his 2025 presidency reboot. Jarlov emphasized: "There's no 'For Sale' sign here – just glaciers, polar bears, and 56,000 people who love their autonomy."
Analysts suggest the Arctic's strategic importance and rare mineral resources are driving the geopolitical spotlight. With climate change opening new shipping routes, this icy drama shows no signs of cooling ❄️🔥.
