A federal judge ruled that the Empire Wind project in New York can resume construction despite a Trump administration order to pause it, a win for the developer, Equinor.

Public opinion overwhelmingly opposes Donald Trump’s idea of acquiring Greenland, whether by military force or other means. A recent Reuters/Ipsos poll revealed that only 4% of Americans support seizing Greenland with force, a figure that is arguably within the “Lizardman’s Constant,” implying a low level of genuine support. Despite the unpopularity, the Trump administration has been met with resistance from Denmark and Greenland, as well as allies like France, Germany, and Sweden, who plan to deploy troops to defend Greenland from potential American aggression. The article emphasizes the need for Congressional intervention to prevent any disastrous actions.

Former President Trump has stated that US control of Greenland is essential for national security, arguing that anything less is unacceptable, and that NATO should support the US in its acquisition efforts, as Russia or China would otherwise seize the territory. In response, a high-level working group between the US and Denmark will explore possible solutions to address the president’s concerns while respecting the country’s red lines. While Denmark and Greenland maintain they will not give up their sovereignty, Trump continues to make assertions that he will obtain the territory with or without a deal. Furthermore, European leaders have rejected Trump’s calls, as they are concerned about the effects of such an action on their relationship with Denmark.
