Meloni does not foresee a “military action” by the US in Greenland and calls for more NATO presence

The Italian Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, assured this Friday that she does not foresee a military action by the United States in Greenland and has opted for a greater involvement of NATO in this “strategic” area also for Europe.

“I still don’t believe in the hypothesis that the U.S. will take military action to assume control of Greenland, an option that I clearly would not share and that would not be in anyone’s interest, not even the U.S.,” the president stated at the new year press conference.

Meloni, a recognized European ally of US President Donald Trump, commented on Washington’s claims for this Danish island in the Arctic, acknowledging its “strategic importance”.

“I believe that the Trump administration, with its very assertive methods, is focusing on the strategic importance of Greenland for its interests and security. It is an area in which many foreign actors operate, and I believe that the US message is clear: they will not accept excessive interference from external actors in an area so strategic for their interests and security,” he assessed.

One of the reasons why the Italian leader does not see a US attack on Greenland as “realistic” is because of the “implications” it would have for NATO, of which the United States, Denmark, and the main European countries are part.

That is why he considered that Greenland “should also be of interest” to the countries of the European Union and the Atlantic Alliance.

“I believe that the debate should not only involve Europe but also NATO (….) Europe must continue working within NATO for a greater presence in the Arctic area,” he declared.
