Russia is watching closely and with visible satisfaction as Donald Trump’s renewed pressure over Greenland sends shockwaves through NATO and the European Union. Across Kremlin-aligned television networks and political commentary shows, Trump’s Greenland posture is being framed not as a diplomatic dispute, but as a strategic stress test exposing NATO’s internal fractures. Russian state media has seized on the growing EU-U.S. standoff, portraying Washington’s demands and tariff threats as evidence of a weakening transatlantic alliance. Analysts in Moscow argue that Trump’s insistence on U.S. control or dominance over Greenland has placed European capitals, particularly Copenhagen and Brussels, in an impossible position. WATCH

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has sharply criticised U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposed tariff plan targeting key European allies, including the United Kingdom, describing the move as “completely wrong” and potentially damaging to long-standing transatlantic relationships. The warning follows Trump’s announcement of new tariffs scheduled for February, aimed at eight European nations. Washington has positioned the move as a response to European military presence in Greenland, linking control of the Arctic island to U.S. missile defence priorities and broader Arctic security concerns.

U.S. President Donald Trump revives his controversial interest in Greenland, this time tying it directly to punitive trade measures against Europe. CNN reports reveal a sharp escalation, with Trump openly signaling tariffs as leverage in talks over the Denmark-governed Arctic territory. According to statements shared on Truth Social, Trump frames the proposed tariffs as retaliation for what he claims are decades of American subsidies to European economies. The warning is explicit: a 10% tariff on goods from Denmark and key European nations starting February, with a possible jump to 25% by June if no agreement on Greenland is reached. WATCH
