In a bid to ease escalating tensions between the United States and Europe over Greenland, Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda suggested that a shared security agreement for the Arctic and North Atlantic regions could be the solution.

Speaking on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum, Nauseda emphasized that the ongoing dispute is overshadowing the critical attention needed for the Ukraine conflict, warning that it plays into Russian strategic interests.

With EU leaders poised for further discussions, the proposal aims to strengthen Western alliances strained by President Trump's Greenland ambitions, which have appeared to threaten NATO's cohesion.
