Günter Fehlinger, self-styled chair of Austria’s Committee for NATO Enlargement, issued a stark ultimatum amid escalating US-Europe tensions over Donald Trump’s Arctic ambitions.
In a viral interview clip, Fehlinger said, “If Trump takes Greenland, then that is the end of the American military presence in Europe as we have known it since the Second World War. Then the Europeans – and I’m speaking here for many – will seize the American bases in Italy, in Germany, in Romania, and everywhere else.”
He emphasised, “This is not a threat, this is a clear statement: Without Greenland, there will be no more US military bases in Europe. Period.”
The provocative remarks echo joint rebukes from European leaders rejecting any US moves on Greenland, which Denmark and its people control.
