Fact Check: No, ex-NATO general didn't say, 'If Trump moves on Greenland, Europeans must be ready to fight the US'


Amid this geopolitical tension, a claim emerged that a former top NATO general, Michel Yakovleff, called for Europe to "fight" the U.S. if Trump seized Greenland. Rather than call for war, Yakovleff advocated "divorce" from the U.S. if NATO ends and "Trump talks to us like that."
