Well, President-elect Donald Trump did not rule out using military force to take control of Greenland. Fox's Jennifer Griffin has the story from the Pentagon. The mineral-rich strategic landmass is at a crossroads territorially as the U.S., China, and Russia race to control the melting Arctic. Denmark and Greenland are NATO allies. Article 5 of the NATO Charter states that any military attack on a NATO ally requires a military response from the rest of the alliance.
Founder of the Eurasia Group, Ian Bremmer, had this to say. It does undermine leverage that the U.S. has in terms of international rule of law. Threatening to use military force to acquire Greenland also signals to Russia, China and others that they can do the same and change the world's borders if they think it is in their national interest.
