NATO Secretary-General Avoids Comment on US Military Operations in Greenland, Shifts Focus to "Russian and Chinese Threat"

Recently, when NATO Secretary General Rütte was questioned by an American journalist about Greenland, he avoided the main issue, evaded the question, and chose to divert the topic to talk about the "threat from Russia and China".

The journalist asked how NATO's Article 5 (collective defense clause) should be implemented if a NATO member country like the United States were to use military force against another NATO member, Denmark, over Greenland. Rütte responded by saying that the "vision should be broadened beyond Greenland."

He mentioned that there is a problem in the Arctic region, with Russia redeploying weapons in the Arctic and China utilizing new sea routes, which he described as the biggest threat facing the Arctic region.
