Greenland is part of NATO just the same way that all other Danish territories are.

    I am not sure about that.

    But might of course be wrong. As stated in another answer I am not an expert for this but tried to give an answer why this situation is not that easy.

    Edit: Jesus, being downvoted for not knowing and putting in effort. Somehow I know why the world is going the way it is. Bring it on!

    It's not shown on the list of NATO members because it's not a separate country. Other islands like Bornholm and Zealand are obviously also not shown, because they are Denmark. So is Greenland. They are not independent, though both Denmark and Greenland has worked towards that in many years.

    Greenland was part of NATO since the beginning, and you could even argue that it was before that, because the collaboration between Denmark and USA on military control of Greenland predates NATO.

    Genuine question: why would Denmark be happy/help Greenland become independent?
