That raises a potential problem for the White House following the US capture of Venezuela’s former President…

Denmark, which is responsible for Greenland’s defense, has warned an attack on Greenland would all but end NATO, and announced on Wednesdaythat it was expanding its military presence “in close cooperation with NATO allies.” Germany, Sweden, France and Norway…
