President Donald Trump’s expansionist ambitions for Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark, have strained relations between Washington and Copenhagen — a NATO ally that has long fought alongside the United States.

The two countries have enjoyed what the State Department describes as a “close and mutually beneficial” relationship since establishing diplomatic ties in 1801. Yet Trump has continued to insist on the U.S. taking control of Greenland — which has been part of Denmark for over 300 years, initially as a colony — for national security reasons, with the White House saying the use of military force remains an option.

Trump’s continued threats have brought into focus Denmark’s role as one of Washington’s most reliable military partners — one that has contributed troops to U.S. war efforts and participated in multiple NATO missions.

“An attack by one member of NATO on another would obviously lead to the end of the alliance,” said David Trads, a Danish journalist and author of a recent book on the U.S. under Trump, “America Turns the Clock Back.”
