Will any NATO countries agree with Trump during the Nato Summit that the US should control Greenland?

No NATO member publicly endorsed President Trump's call for U.S. control of Greenland during the alliance's summit in Ankara, Turkey, in early July 2026. Trump told reporters Greenland "should be controlled by the United States, not by Denmark," and suggested the U.S. could withdraw troops from Europe if allies kept resisting the idea.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen rejected the proposal directly, saying Denmark was "ready to defend every inch of NATO including our own territory" and that Greenland is "not for sale." French President Emmanuel Macron said he did not believe the United States would attempt to seize the territory, citing NATO's mutual-defense commitments among allies.
Rather than backing Trump's Greenland demand, NATO instead highlighted new defense-spending commitments, unveiling military procurement deals worth billions of dollars as evidence that European allies and Canada had met calls for greater burden-sharing, having added a combined $1.2 trillion in defense spending since 2017.
The community had priced only a 14% chance of any NATO country siding with Trump on Greenland, correctly anticipating that the territorial claim would draw unified pushback rather than support. The result matched that expectation: no ally endorsed U.S. control of Greenland.
