EU and US tensions rise over Trump's threats to claim Greenland

Tensions are escalating between the European Union and the United States over Greenland. President Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened to claim the territory, including proposing 100% tariffs and altering maps to show it as part of the US, which the EU has vowed to resist.

The EU is now reassessing its defense relationship with the US and debating whether its mutual defense clause would apply to protect Greenland. Some European officials and analysts are questioning if EU or NATO troops would be needed to deter a US attempt to take over the territory.
