Keir Starmer seems to be killing any hopes that Trump's aggression on Greenland might drive a UK-EU rapprochement. EU pressing on with €93bn retaliation, considering anti-coercion instrument. Starmer: "A trade war is in no one's interest".

Part of the MAGA campaign for Greenland is to make this about Denmark, rather than NATO. Allies have every reason to counter this pernicious narrative
Miller: Denmark is a tiny country with a tiny economy and a tiny military. They cannot defend Greenland… Under every understanding of law that has existed about territorial control for 500 years, to control a territory you have to be able to defend a territory…

Punting Greenland's security to a working group and sending a symbolic troop deployment is probably the best Europe can do, for now.
But in time a more considered strategy may be needed to counter Trump's covetousness.

Europe has three options for defending Greenland
Fending off Donald Trump may yet prove agonisingly difficult
