Trump’s repeated insistence on the US taking control of Greenland from close ally Denmark has also compounded the chaos inside EU and Nato capitals on how to respond to America over other geopolitical issues — including the US attack on Venezuela and its ambivalent approach to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
