Trump’s Greenland Annexation Push 2026: Europe Braces for Geopolitical Rift
In January 2026, European leaders are in high alarm over President Trump's push to annex Greenland. Following the Venezuela incursion, the move threatens the stability of NATO and the EU.
"Greenland is not for sale," but Washington doesn't seem to be listening. Donald Trump's renewed push to annex the autonomous territory has sent shockwaves through Brussels and Copenhagen. According to NPR, the alarm in Europe has hit a fever pitch, especially following the recent military incursion in Venezuela last weekend.
