She warned that key questions remain unanswered and tensions with European leaders are far from resolved.
Haberman, appearing on CNN, told anchor Anderson Cooper that it’s still unclear what Trump’s supposed agreement actually contains and whether it will add any new benefits to the existing U.S. agreements with Greenland, dating back to 1951, which allow military installations on the island.
“There’s a lot left unsaid. The president didn’t answer this,” Haberman noted.
“As of now, based on what they’re talking about, it looks as if they’re talking about something that is already in existence,” she added.
While acknowledging Greenland’s strategic importance, Haberman said Trump’s aggressive and divisive approach in his bid to take control of the island has deeply unsettled U.S. allies.
“You can see that this is not over,” she warned, adding that European leaders remain “very alarmed.”
She suggested they’d been unprepared for how much “more emboldened” Trump appears in his second term and cautioned the president will always “go as far as he can until someone stops him.”
“He clearly could not figure out how to get from point A to point B on this one today,” she added.
