Gen. Clark: Trump's Denmark, EU Attacks 'Weakening NATO'
'The United States has important interests in the Arctic and Greenland plays into that, but President Donald Trump's comments about Denmark Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen's calling his wish to purchase the nation "absurd" endangers the United States' relations overseas, retired Gen. Wesley Clark warned Thursday.
"This is not the way to conduct diplomacy," Clark told CNN's "New Day" about Trump's decision to call off his trip to Denmark over Frederiksen's response. "The United States should have worked quietly behind the scenes with Greenland, as we've done in the past, to buffer American opportunities there, to be sure the Russians and the Chinese aren't encroaching, which they are elsewhere in the Arctic."
Further, the United States should be concerned with the strength of its relationships with its European allies, said Clark, who served as Supreme Allied Commander Europe of NATO from 1997-2000.'>>>
