Former U.K. Prime Minister Liz Truss publicly backed President Trump’s hard-line Greenland framework this week and went a step further, arguing that the United Nations’ chokehold on sovereignty and defense decisions must be dismantled. Her comments were blunt and unapologetic — exactly the kind of clear-eyed conservatism America needs when the world’s institutions are failing to protect Western interests.
President Trump used the Davos stage to press the strategic case for Greenland, linking the island to Arctic security and even warning of tariffs on European countries that side with Denmark, a move that upended polite diplomatic assumptions. The administration’s public push ties national defense to concrete negotiations, not empty globalist platitudes, and it exposed how soft European leaders have become on their own defense commitments.
Denmark’s government predictably pushed back, insisting that Greenland’s sovereignty is not on the table, which is their right — but that reality doesn’t erase the underlying strategic risk posed by Chinese and Russian ambitions in the Arctic. Strong leadership doesn’t violate sovereignty; it demands clarity about who protects shared Western interests when rivals circle.
Truss’s critique of the U.N. and of a Europe that has opted for bureaucratic appeasement over deterrence sounds like a wake-up call. Conservatives who believe in national sovereignty should celebrate leaders who refuse to bow before global institutions that routinely reward weakness and punish strength.
If the U.N. can be allowed to dictate the terms of strategic geography and defense, then national self-defense is merely a paper tiger. It’s patriotic and sensible for President Trump to consider dismantling or radically reforming institutions that consistently side with authoritarian regimes and constrain American power. The choice is simple: restore American primacy, or keep watching allies stumble while adversaries grow bolder.
Europe’s bureaucrats and technocrats are scrambling to posture — threatening countermeasures and moral rebukes while failing to field credible defenses of their own. That hypocrisy proves the point: real security requires muscle, not speeches, and America must lead with resolve, not apologies.
Hardworking Americans should take heart that there are leaders willing to speak plainly and act decisively on our behalf. The battle over Greenland and the future of international institutions is really a fight for whether free nations will keep the power to defend themselves or hand it over to distant committees and talking shops. It’s time to choose courage and competence over charm and capitulation.
