Trump's Push to Take Over Greenland Delights Russia
Rolling Stone • • world
Key Points:
- Former President Donald Trump has escalated his threats to forcibly annex Greenland, linking this ambition to his frustration over not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize and questioning Denmark's sovereignty over the territory.
- Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre clarified that Norway is not responsible for awarding the Nobel Peace Prize and confirmed he informed Trump about the independent process, after receiving a direct message from Trump about Greenland.
- Experts highlight that Greenland's security and U.S. interests there have been stable under NATO for decades, and Trump's aggressive stance is seen as a threat to the alliance rather than any external danger from Russia or China.
- Russian officials and media have expressed approval of Trump's antagonism toward NATO, viewing it as beneficial to Russia's strategic goal of weakening the alliance.
