Dünya · NATO existential threat · ArşivVestager: US Intervention in Greenland Is 'Existential Threat' to NATOYazıldı 7 Eylül 2026 21:22 UTCİzleYayın dökümü0:00A stark warning tonight from one of0:01Europe's most prominent voices. Former0:03Danish Minister and EU Competition0:05Commissioner Margrethe Vestager has told0:07Euro News that a United States military0:09intervention to forcibly acquire0:11Greenland would be the most existential0:13threat NATO has ever faced, more0:14dangerous than any external adversary.0:16The warning lands as President Trump0:18renews his push for the Arctic0:20territory, turning a summit meant to0:22show alliance strength into a crisis of0:24confidence. Vestager pointed out that a0:261951 treaty between the United States0:29and Denmark already allows for full0:30security cooperation on Greenland0:32without any transfer of sovereignty. She0:34made clear that an American attempt to0:36take the territory by force would0:38shatter the alliance from within.0:39Denmark's Prime Minister Mette0:41Frederiksen has been equally blunt,0:43stating that Greenland is not for sale0:45and that Denmark will defend every inch0:46of NATO territory. Vestager described0:49the prospect as more dangerous than any0:50external foe. She stressed that the0:52existing legal framework already gives0:54the United States all the security0:56access it needs in Greenland without0:58violating Danish sovereignty. President1:00Trump renewed his demand for Greenland1:02at the July 2026 NATO Summit in Ankara,1:05calling it {quote} very important for1:06the US, but not important for Denmark.1:09He reportedly threatened to remove all1:10American troops from Europe if the1:12alliance does not go along with his1:13demands, a move that would fundamentally1:15reshape the NATO defense posture. The1:17Danish Prime Minister has firmly1:19rejected any notion of a sale, a1:21position Denmark and Greenland have held1:23since Trump first proposed the idea back1:24in 2019. Frederiksen made clear1:27Copenhagen would treat any attempt to1:28take the territory1:30of the alliance's own founding1:31principles. President Trump's threat to1:33withdraw American forces from Europe has1:35deeply shaken the summit. NATO Secretary1:38General Mark Rutte acknowledged the1:40fragility of alliance unity, even as the1:42organization faces active war with Iran1:44and renewed Russian aggression on1:46Europe's eastern flank. What was1:47supposed to be a show of unity summit1:49has instead exposed historic fractures1:52with one member state threatening1:53another over territory. The dispute has1:55upended the Ankara summit, which was1:57intended to show alliance strength and1:58unity amid the Iran war and Russian2:00aggression. Vestager's warning now hangs2:03over every discussion that the greatest2:05threat to NATO may come not from outside2:07the alliance, but from within it.Makaleyi okuHaberin zaman çizelgesiHeyDexKısa video ↗
