Trump shot himself in the foot? America's sense of unity on the Greenland issue has been shaken!

US-Greenland Issue: The Greenland mess is like a litmus test for NATO countries. Because despite being a member of the NATO group, America is casting a dark eye on the country. The world, including Donald Trump, is stunned by the tough stance of European countries that have always stood by America. Tremendous diplomacy has once again proven that the dominance of Europe's collective voice in global politics is still true. Countries like America have also had to think.

Did Trump bow down or strategy?

Donald Trump probably thought that occupying Greenland after upsetting the situation in Venezuela was a small matter for America. But when Washington got into an offensive mood, European countries strongly protested in one voice, so that even America, the so-called world ruler, had to back down. Has Donald Trump really bowed down to the Greenland issue or is it part of some strategy?

Has the sovereignty of European countries worked?

Looking at the current developments, America has greatly intensified its military and strategic activities regarding Greenland. On the one hand, the Trump government wants to strengthen its influence. Because the dominance of powerful countries like Russia and China is increasing in the Arctic. Since Greenland is its main center, America wants to control it and show its dominance. But this attitude of America was not liked by European countries, because Greenland is an autonomous region of Denmark, that is why this issue became directly linked to the sovereignty of European countries.

America was put to the test

Britain, Germany, France and other European countries clearly said that unilateral action on Greenland would not be acceptable, despite being NATO member countries, European countries test America that no flirtation with the regional balance in the name of security will work, European leaders argue that this initiative can increase tensions in the Arctic region and the wishes of local citizens will be ignored. It is important that Germany has also landed some of its troops in Greenland, although its number is not large but the message is big.

America has seen that this opposition from Europe is not only diplomatic, NATO and European countries are also in the mood to fight against America. So Donald Trump understood that the bet may be lost. Because America also knows that if European countries are upset, its impact will not be limited to Greenland, but will also weaken America's issues related to Ukraine and the Middle East as well as Asia. This is why America has put the Greenland issue in the wait and watch category.

Will Trump accept it easily?

America always bends its finger if it doesn't work! So will America change its stance on the Greenland issue after the opposition of European countries? No, Trump, who has lost sight of the situation, wants to resolve the issue through talks, for this, a special envoy has been asked to go to Greenland in March. Who will talk to Denmark and NATO and find a way to resolve it. It seems that this matter is now pending until March.

Trump's double-edged sword

However, Trump has also sent a message to European countries through tariffs that 8 European countries that oppose America on the Greenland issue will face a 10 percent tariff increase from February 1, which will increase to 25 percent in June. On the other hand, this policy of Trump also indicates that Greenland has not gone out of America's agenda.

The Greenland case is an indication that the world is moving away from the pattern of unilateral decisions. Europe has succeeded in showing that it does not believe in merely following America, but is also a collective powerhouse that has stood up for its own interests. On the other hand, America has also realized that it can no longer wield the baton alone, especially in strategy, and allies will have to be given importance. Because on the one hand, there are Russia and China, whose power America may need organizations like NATO and European countries to counter.
