NATO 'far from being in a crisis' over Greenland: top commanderHELSINKI, Jan 10, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - The head of NATO's forces in Europe, US General Alexus Grynkewich, said Friday the military alliance was far from being in "a crisis", following President Donald Trump's threats to bring Greenland under US control. "So I see us as far from being in a crisis right now," he added. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is due to meet officials from Denmark and Greenland next week. Washington already has a military presence in Greenland -- the Pituffik base, which dates from World War II when the United States sent forces to defend Greenland after Denmark fell to Nazi Germany. Under a 1951 treaty, the United States could simply notify Denmark it is again sending more troops.
