JD Vance blasts Denmark, says Trump 'forced to' intervene in Greenland: "Denmark is not doing its job, and isn't being a good ally. If that means we're forced to take more territorial interest in Greenland, that is what President Trump is going to do. Because he doesn't care about the Europeans"

President Donald Trump told reporters at the White House Friday the US has “to have Greenland” for the sake of global security.

“We need Greenland,” the president said. “Very importantly, for international security, we have to have Greenland. It’s not a question of, you think we can do without it. We can’t.”

Trump argued control over Greenland is a matter of peace “for the entire world,” not just the United States.

“Look at it, you have warships all over the place going through right along Greenland. We’re not going to let that happen,” Trump added.

The president said he believes Denmark and the European Union understand his view of the territory’s importance, adding a warning: “And if they don’t, we’re going to have to explain it to them.”

Vice President JD Vance and second lady Usha Vance are leading a US delegation on a visit to the semiautonomous Danish territory Friday, making Vance the first vice president to visit Greenland.

“They will represent us well,” Trump said.

Remember: Greenlandic politicians have repeatedly signaled they are opposed to annexation, and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has urged Trump to respect “the fundamental rules of sovereignty.”

A newspaper poll in January found that 85% of Greenlanders did not want to become part of the US, with nearly half saying Trump’s interest was a threat, Reuters reported.

Trump addressed the Greenland situation during the joint session of Congress address using the words "if they wish," which at present they don't but they do now support separating from Denmark, meaning parties that support this move won a surprise election victory.

Lighten up, Francis.  If Greenland IS acquired by the US, it will be thru legal means.

Although, I just think Trump is bringing this up so the left has a shiny ball to distract themselves with while the adults work on REAL issues.

Like sending our military to the most remote and inhospitable place in order to crack down on illegal crossing that occur "occasionally."

• Drug smuggling and illegal border crossings occasionally occur within Big Bend National Park. If you see anything that looks illegal, suspicious, or out of place, please do not stop or intervene, but note the location, time, direction of travel, and call 911 when possible.

 

Oh, and seeing as Maxipad mocked my statement about the Mexicans selling trinkets and fruit juice on this side of the border, he can now go fock himself.

Mexican Nationals may leave items for sale such as walking sticks, bracelets, and other crafts on the U.S. side of the Rio Grande.

You’re correct I have no clue, so hopefully you can explain it to me. Greenland is owned by Denmark which is part of NATO. Russia will never seize it because, since it is part of NATO, that would start WWIII. 
 

Why is it in our strategic interests to own it instead of Denmark, at the risk of alienating Western Europe? What exactly do we gain that we don’t have now? We currently have use of their waterways and without any fees or penalty, for both our military and merchant ships. So how would ownership benefit us? Please explain became I don’t get it.

This has not been explained AFAIK. Greenland is rich in untapped mineral deposits. No way Trump only cares about it strategically. There is money to be made. That's the only reason.

Theres 57,000 people in Greenland. You sure you want to spend that? (Keep in mind that almost all of the money we spent for Ukraine went to our own defense industries.)

Don’t care unlike Ukraine we actually benefit from that. And spare me your “defense industries garbage”. We still fly bombers from the 40s so this whole it’s stuff we were getting rid of is nonsense. 
 

after spending trillions funding meaningless wars in the Middle East we could do something beneficial to the people of Greenland and ourselves.
