U.S. Foreign Policy and Greenland

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov warned that President Trump’s push to seize Greenland amounts to a “deep crisis” for NATO that undermines the Western rules‑based order, saying Moscow is watching the transatlantic rift with a mix of glee and wariness even as it denies intent to threaten the island. He also denounced the U.S. raid that captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro as a “crude military intervention,” remarks made as Denmark and Greenland rebuffed U.S. acquisition efforts, European troops deployed to Greenland for Arctic exercises, and the White House floated military options and tariffs to press allies.
