The US president has continued to make threats, the most recent of which being his refusal to rule out the use of military action to occupy the region.
When asked yesterday, May 4, whether he would be prepared to use military action against Greenland, he said, “I don’t rule it out,” on NBC’s Meet the Press.
“I don’t rule anything out, but I don’t say I’m going to do anything. Not there, please. Greenland is vital to us.
“There are very few people in Greenland, and we will care for them, treasure them, and all that. However, that is necessary for global security.
So, could Trump really seize Greenland because he hasn’t ruled out the possibility of military intervention? Most likely.
With less than 60,000 residents, the US is one of the few military superpowers in the world. With enough American troops, they could take care of every Greenlander.
