Security analysts examine the geopolitical landscape: “If Trump takes Greenland, he will lose Europe”

“With his eyes on Greenland,” National Security researcher J. P. Carroll brings together Leonard Schuette, a researcher in the International Security Program and fellow at the Belfer Center at Harvard University, and former ambassador Eric Nelson to analyze the potential next moves President Donald Trump could make on the international stage. Nelson warns that “Russia and China would be relatively more powerful” if the United States were to lose Europe as an ally. In the same vein, Schuette emphasizes that Washington would lose its position “as a guarantor of security in Europe” if it “moves against Denmark” over control of the Arctic island.
