News India Live, Digital Desk: When the elders of the house start fighting among themselves, the whole neighborhood becomes alert. Something similar is happening in global politics these days. We are talking about the relations between NATO and America. For the last few days, news has been coming that Donald Trump is adamant on his old insistence on making Greenland a part of America. But this time it is not limited to just one ‘deal’; Many countries in Europe have called this a direct threat to NATO’s existence and a war-like situation.
Why did the matter get so bad?
Look, the thing to understand is that Greenland is a part of Denmark and Denmark is an important member of NATO. The foundation of NATO rests on the belief that member countries will respect each other’s borders and protect each other.
Now when Trump talks about buying Greenland or military options being open there, European countries feel that America is backstabbing its own friends. Many European diplomats say this is tantamount to taking over the land of a sovereign nation, which amounts to waging a ‘war’ in direct violation of NATO rules.
Why is Europe feeling afraid?
A major reason for Europe’s anger is that if today America is demanding Greenland on the basis of its power, then tomorrow it can claim the share of some other small European country. The people of Denmark and its politicians have made it clear that they find this discussion also insulting. He believes that the people of Greenland are not a commodity that can be traded from one hand to another for money.
Trump’s own arguments
On the other hand, Donald Trump looks at this issue from a security perspective. The way China and Russia are expanding their footprint in the Arctic region, Trump feels that the only solution is for America to have complete control over Greenland. But the rules of diplomacy say that you cannot threaten your friends for the sake of security.
NATO’s future at stake?
Today’s situation is that if Trump does not change his stance regarding Greenland, the bitterness between NATO countries and America will deepen. This bitterness increases when military options are mentioned. European countries are beginning to wonder whether America is now thinking only about its own interests?
while going…
The hunger for land and display of military power sometimes alienates even our own people. Now it remains to be seen whether this ‘island dispute’ between America and Denmark is resolved through diplomacy or whether this rift will destroy the unity of a big organization like NATO.
