Reagan and Bush Explain Why Trump Betrays America in Bashing NATO

Trump links Greenland acquisition to national security and does not rule out military measures, sparking global backlash and NATO denunciations.

  • On Tuesday, President Donald Trump proposed taking Greenland under U.S. control and refused to rule out military action, prompting denunciations from NATO members.
  • Trump moved rapidly on Venezuela and backed ICE agents in Minneapolis before shifting attention to Greenland; he also imposed tariffs on nations including the United Kingdom that sent troops there.
  • Observers pointed to strategic vulnerabilities such as Europe’s near defenselessness and critical minerals as deterrents, while Evans-Pritchard wrote, `There must be a high risk that Trump will escalate further across all fronts, and many other fronts that I have not even mentioned`.
  • Observers say Trump's conduct is effectively destroying NATO from within and undermining the rules-based order, citing damage to the World Trade Organisation appellate system and illegal tariffs.
  • In broader context, commentators argued it is time to start publicly floating ideas to confront the president as the old world is dead, affecting medium-sized powers' security.
