Summary
Trump renewed calls for the US to annex Greenland for “national security” reasons during an Oval Office briefing, claiming “I think it will happen.”
Greenland’s outgoing Prime Minister Múte Egede responded on Facebook: “Enough is enough,” and planned to summon all Greenland’s political parties for a joint rejection.
Likely incoming Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen also called Trump’s statement “inappropriate.”
Trump also undermined Denmark’s claim to Greenland, saying it was “very far away and really has nothing to do” with the island.
Danish Defense Committee Chairman Rasmus Jarlov warned that US annexation “would mean war between two NATO countries.”
With global warming new trade routes are going to open up through the artic. They will be extremely valuable and the countries geographically positioned to compete for them are going to be Russia, China, Canada, and Greenland. This is why America wants Canada and Greenland so bad and will do whatever it takes to get them.
America doesn’t want Canada and Greenland trump does
I was surprised to find out this isn’t a new political movement and we have a history of this twisted rhetoric.

Trump just likes to listen to the fringe youtube historians and economists instead of the ones with real degrees and experience.
yeah alaska never counted
Despite all the Republican denial, someone must believe in climate change. Wonder how the true-believing cult takes this.
Also, with all the tariffs, why do we need trade routes?
Disgusting people are pro climate change because of money.
