Greenland is the talk of the planetary town.
It happened: Army’s Delta Force attacked military sites in Caracas, annihilating the Cuban security detail and extracting dictator Nicolas Maduro and his wife to face justice in New York federal court.
And the world had barely recovered from the surprise, when the question of the US Donald J. Trump administration’s interest in Greenland came back to the forefront of geopolitical tensions.
Now we have the White House saying military ‘always an option’ in Greenland, and with Europeans, led by France and Germany, scrambling to ‘resist Trump’s Greenland threats’.
The tensions are running high within NATO, with an irate Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen warning that a US takeover in Greenland would amount to the end of NATO.
So, today (7), US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced plans to meet with Danish officials next week to discuss Trump’s intention to ‘acquire’ Greenland.
Euronews reported:
“US President Donald Trump doubled down on the idea this week, and the White House has refused to rule out using military force to seize the Arctic island, which is a self-governing territory of Denmark.”
