Russia is watching closely and with visible satisfaction as Donald Trump’s renewed pressure over Greenland sends shockwaves through NATO and the European Union. Across Kremlin-aligned television networks and political commentary shows, Trump’s Greenland posture is being framed not as a diplomatic dispute, but as a strategic stress test exposing NATO’s internal fractures. Russian state media has seized on the growing EU-U.S. standoff, portraying Washington’s demands and tariff threats as evidence of a weakening transatlantic alliance. Analysts in Moscow argue that Trump’s insistence on U.S. control or dominance over Greenland has placed European capitals, particularly Copenhagen and Brussels, in an impossible position. WATCH
