The Trump administration has repeatedly said the U.S. should be in control of Greenland, which is part of Denmark and NATO.

Top Trump aide Stephen Miller says it's the "formal position" of the White House that Denmark's territory of Greenland "should be part of the U.S."

Should the "darkest hour" come, and the U.S. uses military force to annex Greenland, "the essence of Article 5 and collective defense within NATO would lose its meaning," the Atlantic Council reported. "The idea of NATO will be broken if the US takes Greenland," said Norwegian Minister of Foreign Affairs Espen Barth Eide.

Denmark and its NATO allies pushed back Tuesday after Trump's deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller claimed the U.S. has a right to Greenland and did not rule out use of American military force to seize it.

The president’s proposal for a $600 billion increase comes as his administration pushes for American imperialism.

The leaders of France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain and the United Kingdom joined Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen in defending Greenland's sovereignty in the wake of President Trump's comments.

Ideas include better Arctic surveillance, more defense spending, transfers of military equipment and military exercises.

President Donald Trump’s renewed interest in the United States acquiring Greenland has stirred new concerns in Europe and NATO.
