'World order' at stake from Trump's Greenland threat: ex-NATO chief to AFP
Brussels, Belgium, Jan 20 (AFP) Jan 20, 2026
NATO is facing the biggest crisis in its history over Donald Trump's Greenland threats, and the time for "flattering" the US leader is over, former alliance chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen told AFP Tuesday.

"It's not only a crisis for NATO, it's a crisis for the transatlantic community at large," Rasmussen said in an interview from the World Economic Forum in Davos. "It is the future of NATO and the future of the world order that are at stake."
