Moscow cheers NATO crisis as the Ukraine war stifles Russia's economy, forcing companies to use 4-day weeks and lay off

President Donald Trump’s feud with NATO over his plans to take over Greenland has precipitated an existential crisis for the alliance that Russia is celebrating.

On Saturday, Trump announced tariffs targeting NATO countries that deployed troops to the semi-autonomous Danish territory, until a “Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland.”

That drew cheers from Kirill Dmitriev, Russian Vladimir Putin’s envoy for investment and economic cooperation. Meanwhile, the European Union is weighing options to retaliate.

“Collapse of the transatlantic union,” he posted on X. “Finally—something actually worth discussing in Davos.”
