US President Donald Trump has sent shockwaves through the region with a statement that he doesn't rule out military action in Greenland, sparking fears of an American takeover. The threat was met with swift condemnation from Denmark, which views its territory as strategically important for defense and future mineral wealth.
Trump's comments have reignited concerns about his intentions towards Greenland, following recent actions taken by the US in Venezuela. Katie Miller, wife of Stephen Miller, Donald Trump's deputy chief of staff for policy, posted a provocative message on social media, suggesting that Greenland could be next on the list.
The Danish government has repeatedly warned against any attempt to annex its territory, citing international law and the sovereignty of states. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has stated that national borders are "rooted in international law" and that attempts to annex other countries would be unacceptable.
Despite these warnings, Trump's administration appears to be taking a hardline stance towards Greenland. Trump recently appointed Jeff Landry, the governor of Louisiana, as a special envoy to Greenland, who welcomed the President's decision to topple Venezuela's president by force.
The US military has already established a presence in Greenland, with its most northerly base located at Pituffik. The territory's 57,000 inhabitants are largely opposed to joining the US, preferring to pursue independence from Denmark.
Experts warn that a US takeover of Greenland could have significant consequences for regional security and international law. Jennifer Kavanagh, director of military analysis at Defense Priorities, has expressed concerns about Trump's actions, stating that it wouldn't be difficult for the US to deploy troops to Greenland and that it's unclear who could stop them.
As tensions rise, Denmark is urging caution and emphasizing its close alliance with the US. However, the Danish government has made it clear that it will not tolerate any attempt to annex its territory without a fight. The fate of Greenland remains uncertain, but one thing is clear: the US's intentions are being closely watched by the international community.
