Greenland's sovereignty at risk as Trump threatens invasion - Denmark vows to defend its ally
In a bold warning, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has stated that any US attack on a NATO ally would spell the end of both the alliance and post-World War II security. Her remarks came in response to US President Donald Trump's renewed threats to take control of Greenland, a former Danish colony with its own distinct government.
Frederiksen made it clear that Denmark will not stand idly by if America were to attempt to invade its North Atlantic neighbor. "If the United States decides to militarily attack another NATO country, then everything would stop – that includes NATO and therefore post-World War II security," she told a Danish TV network.
Trump's comments have reignited fears of an American invasion, following recent US military operations in Venezuela. The US president claimed Greenland was "very badly needed" by the United States, sparking outrage from Greenland's government and its own Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen.
Greenland has repeatedly stated it does not want to be part of the US, with Nielsen urging Trump to abandon his "fantasies about annexation". Frederiksen echoed these sentiments, stating that Denmark would "do everything" to protect Greenland's sovereignty.
The EU has also come out in support of its Danish ally. An EU spokesperson warned that the bloc will continue to uphold principles of national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
As tensions rise in the Arctic region, where global powers are competing for influence, Greenland remains resolute in its independence. The country's leader, Pelle Broberg, said he was confident the US would protect Greenland as an independent nation.
Despite Trump's bluster, Denmark is prepared to defend its ally. In a statement, Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson expressed solidarity with Denmark, saying only Denmark and Greenland had the right to decide on issues concerning their territories.
The fate of Greenland hangs in the balance as the world watches and waits to see if America will follow through on Trump's threats. One thing is certain – Denmark and its allies will not stand idly by while its sovereignty is threatened.

, who thought it was a good idea to threaten a sovereign nation? Denmark has got Greenland's back 
, time for the EU to step up too 
, can't let Trump's antics go unchecked 
This is a super concerning situation, man... like, think about it - Greenland has been trying to stay independent for ages, and now the US is just threatening to invade? That's not cool at all... 
Denmark is standing up for itself, which is awesome, but what if things escalate? We're talking post-World War II security here, so that's some serious stuff... 
The EU stepping in to support Denmark is a good sign, though - it's clear they won't let the US just bully them around... 
We need to keep an eye on this situation and hope for a peaceful resolution - but let's be real, with Trump at the helm, it's hard to predict what's gonna happen next... 
. greenland has already stated they don't want to be part of the us, so trump should just leave them alone 
. it's not about being "very badly needed" by america, it's about respecting other nations' independence 
. let's hope denmark stands strong and keeps its sovereignty intact 
#GreenlandDeservesRespect #SovereigntyIsKey
US can't just invade anyone, it's like a bad boyfriend - you're all about the drama then you expect everyone to deal with your tantrums 
. But at the end of the day, it's all about Greenland's sovereignty – and I think they'd do well to stand firm against any threats 
.
. One thing's for sure, though: Denmark & its allies will do everything in their power to protect Greenland 
. I mean, come on, Trump thinks he can just invade Greenland like it's a pair of kicks at the mall? Newsflash, Donald: Greenland ain't no Walmart 
. It's a sovereign nation with its own government and people, and they're not gonna let you just waltz in and take control. Denmark's got your back, buddy 
– you gotta expect some serious burns. Trump's just trying to distract us from his own messes, but this ain't gonna fly 
Trump thinks he needs the island because of its natural resources, but newsflash: Greenland doesn't need anyone! 
US: 131% (2023 est.)
Greenland: 24% (2023 est.)
meanwhile trump just keeps sayin Greenland needs america and greenslands pm Jens-frederik nielsen is like "um no dude we got this" and EU is over here being all supportive of Denmark too 
BUT SERIOUSLY, WHY CAN'T TRUMP JUST LEAVE GREENLAND ALONE?! 
.
but seriously, gotta wonder what trump's endgame is here... hoping it doesn't come to a point where things get messy 
. I mean, can you imagine if a powerful country like the US just tries to take over another nation? It's so unsettling! 
Trump's comments are super concerning and I think Denmark is totally right to stand up for itself and its sovereignty 
. It's crazy that the EU is supporting Denmark too - we need more unity and cooperation between countries 
. I think it's time for us all to take a step back and remember the importance of respecting each other's borders and differences 
.
- it's like, totally in line with their values 
. And honestly, who needs Greenland anyway? 
mette frederiksen is serving major real talk and defending her country's sovereignty 
i'm low-key impressed by denmark's solidarity with eu too 
. Denmark's being super brave by standing up to Trump, though. Hopefully they don't have to go through with it... that'd be a disaster
