NATO's Rutte on Greenland: No Comment -- WSJ

By Daniel Michaels

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, onstage in Davos, said commenting on Greenland would undermine his honest-broker role.

Asked about unprecedented tensions inside the alliance due to President Trump's demand that founding member Denmark relinquish Greenland to U.S. control, he told the forum: "You will not hear me comment."

Rutte said that during past internal tensions, his predecessors had never commented publicly, and that for him it would be "impossible" to do so. Why? "Because as soon as I do, I cannot any longer help to...defuse the tension, to de-escalate." He assured the panel he is "working on this issue behind the scenes."

Responding to an observation that Trump had made public Rutte's private text messages to him, Rutte said only: "That's true."
