Germany withdrew a 15-person Bundeswehr reconnaissance team from Greenland after a short assessment mission that was always scheduled to last only a few days. The troops left on a civilian flight to Copenhagen and their findings will be reviewed by operational command. The withdrawal came as US President Donald Trump threatened new tariffs on eight European countries and insisted Greenland should belong to the United States for security reasons, citing China and Russia. The EU foreign policy chief warned that divisions in NATO help Russia and China, while European NATO allies rejected US ownership claims and are weighing responses to the tariff plan.
