The American Empire's first Emperor has decreed that NATO will be attacked and Europeans will be killed... one way or another.
He probably thinks he'll let them choose... the way Ukraine got to choose.

Trump says the U.S. will take control of Greenland ‘one way or the other’



That Danish parliamentarian already told him in words that the syphilitic orange menace should understand. To "fuck off".

I guess it needs to be repeated to him a few more times. That brain addled bowl of mush in his skull isn't hearing things properly.

Greenland are currently not member of EU, but they seem keen on the idea, and if they for to double barrel their feet and vote for independence, at least a prior EU membership seem like a pretty good idea, if they don't want be be swallowed by someone else...

We did this agreement in 2023, but it hasn't been ratified by our parliament yet.


Currently I believe we are stalling, as the whole Greenland situation is not really in favor of allowing American troops to Denmark, but on the other hand we don't want to give him another reason to ditch NATO.

So, Trumps keep talking about how Greenland is going to be a part of US and now US is begging us for Eggs:

The deal is: If you want our eggs you leave Greenland alone, take it our leave it :p

How did we miss this one? Back in February on Fox News.
Trump admin repeatedly says they want the use of force against Europe. Bluffing?

JD Vance’s comments on Denmark ‘not being a good ally’ resurface as his wife prepares to visit Greenland

During the Fox News interview, which discussed several of Trump’s measures, Vance suggested that the only real solution to the national security issue was to take “more territorial interest in Greenland.”
He stressed that Trump would take the island if necessary, saying, “That is what President Trump is going to do because he doesn’t care about what the Europeans scream at us"

And now they have cancelled all public events from the Greenland trip. Only thing left on their schedule is a visit to Pituffik Space base.

Like Vlad the Butcher claiming Crimea, and then the rest of Ukraine.
Trump repeatedly claims Greenland and the use of force to achieve it.

Europe needs to take the US at its word and not repeat the way it failed to pay attention to Russia.

Trump reiterates US need to 'have' Greenland

Since coming to power in January, Trump has repeatedly insisted that he wants the self-governed territory to be in Washington's grip, refusing to rule out the use of force to do so.
"We need Greenland for international safety and security. We need it. We have to have it," Trump told podcaster Vince Coglianese. "I hate to put it that way, but we're going to have to have it."

Has he said why exactly? Missile defense? Naval bases for the arctic?

I'm pretty sure Trump wants it because he's an idiot and thanks to the Mercator projection, thinks Greenland is as large as Africa.
"You take a look at a map. I'm a real estate developer. I look at a corner, I say, 'I've got to get that store for the building that I'm building,' etc. It's not that different," Trump said. "I love maps. And I always said: 'Look at the size of this. It's massive. That should be part of the United States.'"
