US Threatens to Seize Greenland

 

 

Donald Trump said that he will not rule out military action to seize Greenland. In response, the UK Prime Minister said that the UK would use force to defend Greenland from the occupation from any external powers. Here is a link to a related article. Donald Trump issues Greenland deadline 

Excerpt from article: President Donald Trump has said the U.S. will revisit its stance on Greenland in the coming weeks. Asked if he expected to take action on the strategic island, Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday: “Let’s talk about Venezuela, Russia, Ukraine. We’ll worry about Greenland in about two months. Let’s talk about Greenland in 20 days.”

Katie Miller, a longstanding MAGA voice and the wife of White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, posted an image to social media on Saturday that showed the American flag overlaid on an outline of Greenland with the caption “SOON.” Miller’s post came shortly after US action in Venezuela to capture President Nicolás Maduro.

Jesper Møller Sørensen, the Danish ambassador to the U.S., directly responded to the post with a plea for Washington to “respect” Denmark’s territory.
