Trump threatens Greenland… then pulls back
President Trump’s contentious relationship with NATO seemed set to reach its peak at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland. European leaders formed a united front against his belligerence over American control of Greenland in recent weeks. The floating of a military attack or new tariffs on NATO members who opposed the move appeared to doom the longstanding alliance.

But does that mean the partnership between NATO and the US is back on steady ground?
This week marked the first year of the president’s second term in the oval office. It was an eventful year full of legal challenges, deployments, deals and concepts of deals.
