As Trump threatens US takeover, NATO downplays risk to the alliance's survival

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said on January 12 that the alliance was taking steps to ensure the security of the arctic region including Greenland. But Rutte refused to accept the idea that the alliance is in a moment of crisis due to Trump’s repeated threats to take the autonomous island, which is part of the kingdom of Denmark. US Secretary of state Marco Rubio is set to meet with diplomats from Denmark and Greenland on January 14.
