Iceland votes on resuming EU membership talks as Trump's push for neighboring Greenland looms over debate

Icelanders voted Saturday on whether to reopen negotiations to join the European Union, with President Donald Trump's push for U.S. control of neighboring Greenland adding a new security dimension to a debate that has divided the NATO ally for years.

Iceland, strategically positioned in the North Atlantic and roughly 180 miles from Greenland, has no military of its own and relies on NATO and a longstanding defense agreement with the United States for its security, according to RTE and The Associated Press.
