Trump Threatens Military Action On Greenland by fergie001(op): 9:33am On Jan 10
Trump speaking with journalists over Greenland, a semi-autonomous territory in Denmark;

"I am not talking about money for Greenland yet, I might talk about that but right now, we are going to do something on Greenland whether they like it or not because if we don't do it, Russia or China will take over Greenland, and we're not going to have Russia or China as a neighbor. Okay?"

"I would like to make a deal the easy way. But if we don't do it the easy way, we're going to do it the hard way."

"By the way I am a fan of Denmark anyway, I need to tell you that they have been very nice to me but, you know, the fact that they had a boat land there 500 years ago doesn't mean that they own the land, I am sure we had lots of boats land there also but we need that because if you take a look outside of Greenland, there are Russian destroyers, Russian submarines, Chinese destroyers all over the place, we won't have Russia or China occupy Greenland and that's what they are going to do if we don't."

"So we are going to be doing something with Greenland either the nice way or the more difficult way."

"NATO's got to understand that. I'm all for NATO. I saved NATO. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have a NATO right now."
Donald John Trump


Five biggest political parties in Greenland reject Trump's offer
Statement from the Premier of Greenland 🇬🇱
January 9, 2026
8:30pm local time.

We Stand Together as a People

As leaders of Greenland’s political parties, we once again wish to underline our firm position that the United States’ disregard for our country must come to an end.

We do not wish to be Americans. We do not wish to be Danes. We wish to be Greenlanders.

Greenland is a country governed in accordance with the Self-Government Act and international law. The Government of Greenland and the Inatsisartut are elected by the people of Greenland, and through this mandate they cooperate with the United States and other Western countries—a cooperation that will continue in the future.

The future of Greenland must be decided by the Greenlandic people. Work concerning Greenland’s future is conducted in dialogue with the population and prepared on the basis of international law and the Self-Government Act. No other country has the right to interfere in this process. We will decide our country’s future ourselves—without pressure to make hasty decisions, without delays imposed from outside, and without external interference.

In recent years, we have strengthened our international responsibility and engagement. This has been carried out through official diplomatic channels and in accordance with international principles based on mutual respect, and this approach will continue.

We once again call for dialogue to be conducted on the basis of diplomacy and international principles. This is the appropriate path forward for allies and friends.

We therefore agree on the following:

That intensified and close dialogue with our allies and cooperation partners must be ensured.

That a meeting of the Inatsisartut be brought forward in order to secure a responsible, orderly, and united political debate.

That, in these extraordinary and serious circumstances, the rights and interests of the Greenlandic people are safeguarded.

That we will continue working to develop opportunities that ensure security and well-being for our people throughout the entire country.

We stand together in our right to our country, now and for all time.

Greenland belongs to the Greenlandic people.

Greenland is not a piece of real estate to be flexed over; it is home to people, history, and sovereignty that deserve respect.
Re: Trump Threatens Military Action On Greenland by Moveittothem: 9:47am On Jan 10
Attack a NATO country let's see what the paper tiger coalition of European Weaklings would do 🤔
Re: Trump Threatens Military Action On Greenland by runningriot:
Trump inordinate choice of words and threat to military action will amount to total betrayal and treachery. This is totally unimaginable and unacceptable especially from a trusted ally like Denmark. They don't deserve this!

Re: Trump Threatens Military Action On Greenland by saintneo(m): 9:48am On Jan 10

Is it only the US that's see the Chinese and Russian destroyers in the region?

Why can't Canada mount important defenses up there?

Trump is graduating becoming a tyrant.

If any Africa was to behave like this, America would have labeled him long time ago.

The only president in history that comes close to President Trump is Wilson Churchill of the UK.

What a great visionary. Men with effeminate opinion and traits hate Trump because he shows them how weak and defeated they are.

If getting Greenland by force is the only option, by all means invade. Do not leave Greenland to worthless EU, they are the worst thing to happen to western civilization

This lazy satanic bureaucrat in the EU would have been swallowed by China and Russia if not for Trump

Trump will soon meet his Waterloo. He'll be disgraced out of office
Re: Trump Threatens Military Action On Greenland by judewrites: 9:51am On Jan 10
This is the same way Hitler started....and we all know how he ended and what happened to Germany.

The way immigration federal agents are going about dehumanizing innocent people is a clear sign that sooner or later America will be toppled from a world power.
Re: Trump Threatens Military Action On Greenland by brainbox1000(m): 9:52am On Jan 10
Trump is calling for a world war with his actions
Re: Trump Threatens Military Action On Greenland by yorosstores: 9:52am On Jan 10
He's doing worse than China is doing to Taiwan or as Russia is doing to Ukraine.

I'm glad he didn't win the Nobel peace prize and he will never win it.
Re: Trump Threatens Military Action On Greenland by sweetjohn(m): 9:53am On Jan 10
They should allow US have it if it is to reduce or stop Russia and China influence and takeover. I thought NATO hate Russia morethan Trump? I thought they say Trump is siding with Putin? And here Trump is asking for an Island to further repel Russia and China access and they are crying. I just don’t understand this white people sometimes.
Re: Trump Threatens Military Action On Greenland by Kingpele(m): 9:55am On Jan 10
This guy is getting more crazy every morning..Americans have destroyed the free world as we know it by electing a mad man into the white house
