On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump began his new term, inciting instability through clashes with several countries, including Canada and Mexico. His controversial proposal to impose tariffs on Canada and pursue ownership of Greenland, which is linked to NATO through Denmark, complicates NATO’s collective defense commitments. Experts warn that such actions could be perceived as attacks on NATO members, raising concerns about the alliance's cohesion. Additionally, there's a growing skepticism among the public and politicians regarding NATO's relevance and the U.S.'s investment in it amidst evolving global dynamics.
According to Thomas Hughes, "it's difficult to see how NATO would view the use of military force against Greenland as anything other than an armed attack on one of its members."
The public and political leaders have raised questions about the purpose of NATO, wondering whether it truly benefits American interests.
