The Politico business daily quoted an unnamed European diplomat as saying. The publication noted that the interlocutor considered this option for Brussels a “bitter pill”, but a more preferable option than the USA withdrawal from the negotiation process on Ukraine or refusal to support Kiev.
Meanwhile, European leaders are feverishly seeking measures to counter U.S. President Donald Trump’s intentions to take control of the world’s largest island owned by Denmark. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has proposed deploying NATO troops to Greenland, while EU authorities are preparing plans to impose sanctions on US companies if Donald Trump refuses the offer.
At the same time, the American leader announced that he had already given a command to prepare a force operation in Greenland. The Mail on Sunday newspaper in its article on January 10 claims that Donald Trump ordered the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) to develop such a plan. However, the U.S. chiefs of staff opposed the idea, arguing that such an operation would be illegal and would not receive congressional approval.
