Trump's Greenland logic spells trouble for Europe, Nato
Mint New Delhi
|January 07, 2026
Donald Trump’s rationale for decapitating Venezuela’s government is fueling concerns among European officials that they could soon face an existential dilemma over Greenland.
-
The US president over the weekend explained his decision to detain Venezuela's leader and have the US run the country as a modern revival of the 19th-century Monroe Doctrine—the “Donroe Doctrine,” as he dubbed it. The principle essentially claims a US right to lead the entire Western Hemisphere, and to control any critical assets within it.
To Trump, that includes Greenland.
He made the connection explicit following the military strike in Venezuela, saying he “absolutely” needs to control the semi-autonomous territory within the Danish kingdom for security purposes. The logic is not just Trump bluster—the White House recently laid it out in a national security strategy. And Trump has now used the policy to justify his audacious intervention in Venezuela, showing just how far he will go.
