US President Trump says he won't use force against NATO. "All the US is asking for is a place called Greenland". Never got anything from NATO, despite paying for "100% of NATO", all he wants is Greenland and "ownership" of it, in order to defend it.

• If there was a war, much of the action would take place in Greenland.

• Constructing the Golden Dome, which will defend Canada.
• Criticises Canadian PM Carney, he has not been very grateful.

• The conflict is a bloodbath, wants to stop it.
• Dealing with Russian President Putin, wants to make a deal.

President Trump's comments on NATO and Greenland underscore a heightened geopolitical backdrop that could influence risk sentiment, particularly in Europe and among NATO allies. His insistence on seeking 'ownership' of Greenland speaks to broader strategic interests in the Arctic, which could have implications for energy resources and military positioning. Given the unpredictable nature of these statements, market participants should monitor reactions in forex and equities, particularly within sectors sensitive to geopolitical risk.
