NATO COUNTRIES DISCUSS SENDING TROOPS TO GREENLAND AFTER TRUMP THREATS - THE TELEGRAPH
(@WalterBloomberg)

TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TO KEEP 611 ESSENTIAL USAID PERSONNEL -NOTICE SEEN BY REUTERS
(@WalterBloomberg)

Context: NATO nations, including Germany, have discussed deploying troops to Greenland due to U.S. President Trump's threats to seize the Danish island militarily.

Discussions: Informal talks among European allies focused on the potential NATO response should Trump act on his threats.

Article 5 Consideration: There was debate on whether NATO's mutual defense clause could be activated if the U.S. invaded Greenland, a NATO member.

Trump's Stance: Trump, in his second term, openly considered forcibly taking Greenland, calling Denmark’s refusal an “unfriendly act” amid growing Russian and Chinese interest in the Arctic.
