What is is the closest European country to the US?

Depends. Both Denmark and Canada have long-standing claims to Hans Island, in the Nares Strait, between Ellesmere Island (Canada) and Greenland.

If the Danish claim is considered valid, and the Canadian claim is not, then Denmark is the closest European nation, since Hans Island is about 20 km from the coast of Ellesmere Island. If the Canadian claim to Hans Island is considered valid, and the Danish claim is not, then the issue becomes more complex. The reason is that, as of June 21, 2009, Greenland will be an independent country under the Kingdom of Denmark. That leaves sovereignty open to interpretation. If Greenland is considered under Danish sovereignty, as for example Wales is under the United Kingdom, then Denmark is still the closest European nation to Canada, through Greenland's proximity to Hans Island (again, about 20 km). If Greenland is considered as independent of Denmark as Canada is from the United Kingdom, then Denmark is not the closest European nation to Canada -- France is, through the islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon, about 25 km from the coast of Newfoundland.

Denmark and Canada agreed to demarcate their maritime boundaries in 1973 using 127 surveyed points between the Davis Strait (south) and the Robeson Channel (north). Hans Island is bisected by an imaginary line drawn directly between survey points 122 and 123. If both Denmarks' and Canada's claims to Hans Island are considered valid, and these nations using the maritime boundary as a basis for dividing Hans Island, Denmark will border Canada. It is also possible that both nations may someday agree on joint rule, perhaps making the two nations overlap at Hans Island. However, no resolution to the dispute has been reached yet.
