Trump Says U.S. Is Negotiating With NATO Over Greenland

The president frames the island as essential to U.S. security tied to the "Golden Dome" missile-defense project.

Overview

Speaking to reporters, Trump said NATO is "interacting with us on Greenland" and confirmed talks are underway.
Asked if the United States would leave the alliance if it fails to secure the island, he replied, "We'll see."
He argued that without Greenland the United States faces a "big hole" in national security, citing the "Golden Dome" program.
Earlier this month, the White House told Reuters that use of U.S. armed forces remains an option, and the press secretary said purchase discussions are active.
Authorities in Denmark and Greenland warned against any seizure, and EU member states discussed possible responses.
