Trump's Greenland ambitions spark NATO tensions

from Sunrise · host LiSTNR

President Donald Trump's administration has announced regime change in Venezuela and expressed interest in acquiring Greenland, prompting warnings from Danish officials that such moves could signal the end of NATO. The White House is framing these actions through the lens of the Monroe Doctrine, citing national security concerns and preventing Chinese influence in strategically important regions. Former CIA agent Mike Baker suggests that while an invasion of Greenland is unlikely, these developments are strengthening NATO's resolve to take greater responsibility for its own defence and strategic planning independent of US leadership.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
