Recently, European nations, including Denmark, have expressed readiness to defend their territories like Greenland, highlighting a shift in NATO dynamics. While Trump has worked to make Europeans share the NATO defense burden, his repeated calls for U.S. control over Greenland suggest ongoing tensions about American influence and strategic interests, especially considering Greenland&#8217;s importance amid tensions with China and Russia. Trump has also warned of potential U.S. troop withdrawals from Europe if issues like immigration and energy are not addressed. Conversely,European leaders,such as France&#8217;s Macron,have speculated about possible conflicts with the U.S., reflecting strains in transatlantic relations. the alliance that once unified Europe and the U.S. against common adversaries now faces challenges that might lead to increased european militarization and a redefined global order.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump has reshaped an international order that lasted for 80 years.<\/p>\n<p>Since the end of World War II, Europeans have relied on the United States for security. Now, those same Europeans have openly contemplated conflict with their longtime patron across the Atlantic.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/policy\/international\/5958551-denmark-prime-minister-mette-frederiksen-defense-greenland-trump-nato\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Hill<\/a>, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said on Wednesday that her country stands \u201cready to defend\u201d Greenland.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are ready to defend every inch of NATO, including our own territory,\u201d Frederiksen said ahead of the NATO Summit in Turkey.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the reasons why \u200bwe \u2060have built NATO many, many years ago, is if anything happens to \u2060one \u200bof us, then everybody \u200bshould stand up for each other,\u201d she later added.<\/p>\n<p>Ironically, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trump-gets-nato-chief-admit-us-carried-much-burden-defense-spending-changes-today\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trump<\/a> has spent years trying to get Europeans to shoulder their  of the NATO defense burden. That effort, according to Canadian Prime Minister <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/canadian-prime-minister-mark-carney-admits-trump-won-argument-nato-spending\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mark Carney<\/a>, has borne fruit.<\/p>\n<p>Now, it seems that the president might go further and \u2014 by design or otherwise \u2014 trigger Europe\u2019s re-militarization.<\/p>\n<p>Frederiksen\u2019s reliance on NATO to defend Greenland \u2014 long a Danish or Danish-aligned territory \u2014 against the United States also has ironic elements given that the alliance, formed in 1949 as a bulwark against an expansionist Soviet Union, has relied overwhelmingly on American money and armed forces.<\/p>\n<p>Trump, of course, has long insisted that the United States should control Greenland.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, the president <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/locals-maga-hats-give-warm-welcome-trump-force-one-lands-greenland\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">raised the issue<\/a> shortly after winning the 2024 election. It has resurfaced at various times during his second administration.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday in Turkey, Trump again insisted that Greenland \u201cshould be controlled by the United States,\u201d per <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2026\/07\/07\/trump-nato-summit-greenland-us-troops-europe.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CNBC<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause Greenland doesn\u2019t help Denmark. Denmark doesn\u2019t spend money to really help Greenland, but it\u2019s an important part for the United States,\u201d the president told reporters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd it\u2019s surrounded by China ships and Russian ships, and that\u2019s not going to happen, the ships, is, it\u2019s not going to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Later, Trump issued various warnings, including the prospect that U.S. troops could withdraw from the continent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe could remove all of our soldiers out of Europe,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause as you probably noticed, Europe\u2019s a very different place than it was 20 years ago. And they better be careful with immigration and energy. If they\u2019re not careful with those two things, you\u2019re not going to have a Europe anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As unfathomable as it once seemed, America\u2019s break with Europe appears closer than it has in nearly a century.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, earlier this year, French President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/shock-report-macron-france-prepared-war-america-maduro-raid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Emmanuel Macron<\/a> reportedly broached the idea of a \u201cshooting war\u201d with the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are drawing a line here,\u201d Macron reportedly said to a group of nearly 30 European leaders gathered in Brussels, Belgium, to discuss what to do in the wake of Trump\u2019s successful capture of Venezuelan strongman Nicolas Maduro, which corresponded with renewed threats against Greenland.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/fool-around-find-trump-cutting-natos-access-massive-amount-us-weapon-systems\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NATO members<\/a> also showed reluctance to aid Trump in his war against Iran.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f7f7f7; color: #171717; display: flex;font-size: 16px;font-weight: 600;line-height: 1.5;margin: 24px 0;padding: 18px 20px 18px 30px;text-align: left;\">\n<div style=\"align-self: stretch;border-left: 3px solid #171717;flex-shrink: 0;padding-left: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<p><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/\">Choose The Western Journal as your preferred source on Google and never miss reporting that defends truth, protects freedom, and advances Western civilization<\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"border: 1px solid #f5f5f5; padding: 16px;\">Advertise with The Western Journal and reach millions of highly engaged readers, while supporting our work. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/advertise-us\/?wj_source=article\">Advertise Today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\"> \t\t\t \t<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey == typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts = { \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs = [ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++ ) if( !
