Summary

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen warned that a US military attack on Greenland would effectively end NATO and the post-World War II security order. Bloomberg's Sanne Wass reported that European leaders have rallied behind Greenland and Denmark, with tension heightened by the timing after the Venezuela raid and Trump's suggestion of a 20-day timeline. The report also explored whether US interest is driven by national security or Greenland's critical minerals and natural resources, noting US treaty rights to build bases and Greenland's openness to foreign investment. No specific securities or investable trades were discussed.
