U.S. President Donald Trump doubled down on his controversial push to control Greenland this week, declaring there's "no going back" on the Arctic island's strategic importance. The move has strained ties with NATO allies and revived fears of a transatlantic trade war. 💥
At a Tuesday press conference, Trump refused to rule out forceful measures, telling reporters: "You'll find out" how far he'll go. His comments came after a Truth Social post claiming Greenland is "imperative for National and World Security," despite Denmark's sovereignty over the territory.
European leaders pushed back sharply, with EU officials rejecting what they called "the law of the strongest" in international relations. The clash comes as Trump prepares to meet NATO counterparts at this week's World Economic Forum in Switzerland. 🌐
Market analysts warn the tensions could reignite 2025's trade war volatility, though Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent dismissed concerns as "hysteria." Meanwhile, security experts question how NATO's mutual defense pact applies to disputes between member states.
