President Donald Trump has privately suggested a radical move against US allies: seizing Greenland, according to the BBC's economics editor, Faisal Islam [49594]. The threat, described as "without parallel" in modern relations between friendly nations, would baffle and alarm allied leaders [49594]. Greenland is a vast, autonomous territory belonging to Denmark, a long-standing NATO partner of the United States [49594]. While not official policy, the private remarks reveal a willingness to consider extreme actions against partners, fundamentally challenging decades of diplomatic tradition [49594].
