EU lawmaker: US envoys should be summoned
Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann urges NATO countries to expel U.S. ambassadors over Greenland control threat
European Parliament member Mari-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann said all NATO countries should call in US ambassadors over the threat of potential US control over Greenland. She feared that attempts by the US to gain control over the island would be 'naive and dangerous' if countries did not try to persuade Americans to step back from such a move. 'Doing nothing to avoid a break with Trump, combined with the hope that the chaos will soon end, would be naive and dangerous,' emphasized the spokeswoman for the Department, according to sources. Her argument referred to the strategic importance of Greenland's territory, controlled by Denmark, and the growing role of the US in ensuring military-strategic security in the Arctic.
Greenland, being the world's largest island and a territory of the Kingdom of Denmark, attracts attention not only from Western countries but also from Russia, which has expressed concern over the expansion of American presence in the Arctic.
Context

MEP Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann called on NATO to summon U.S. ambassadors over the threat of Greenland's control. She highlighted the danger of inaction, given the island's strategic importance to Western countries and Russia.
