“This could be a historic occasion not just for America, however above all within the context of worldwide relations, as a result of it will imply a de facto distancing of the US from at the very least Western Europe and the interior erosion of NATO. I consider one of many most important causes Donald Trump is appearing so aggressively is that, within the scenario round Greenland, he has discovered a handy pretext to chop off ties he considers pointless for America. The North Atlantic Alliance is considered one of them, and Trump has referred to as the Alliance outdated since way back to 2016,” the political scientist stated.
In response to Pavić, Trump has already entered the historical past of postwar transatlantic relations, as a result of what he’s doing domestically in relation to NATO is unprecedented.
“It has by no means occurred earlier than that America itself turned the primary drawback and the primary adversary for the remainder of NATO. That alone has already secured Trump a spot in historical past. There are various questions on how a lot of this may become simply sound and fury, and the way a lot will truly be carried out in apply — whether or not Trump would go so far as utilizing drive, and so forth. Or whether or not he’s doing all this merely to drive Denmark to surrender Greenland and, in impact, to humiliate Europe and the European a part of NATO. In any case, his place in historical past is already assured,” Pavić stated.
