Nordics reject Trump’s claim of Chinese and Russian ships around Greenland, FT reports. It seems we’re dealing with yet another instance of, let’s just say, creative truth-telling from a certain former leader. The Financial Times reports that Nordic nations are pushing back against claims that Chinese and Russian ships are lurking around Greenland. You know, the kind of claims that have that familiar ring of “too good (or bad) to be true”?

According to reports, President Trump has requested special forces to prepare contingency plans for a possible invasion of Greenland. This request has faced strong resistance from senior military officials who question its legality and political feasibility, with some attempting to divert Trump’s attention with alternative military actions. Driven by domestic political considerations and hardline advisors, the President’s renewed focus on Greenland is also believed to be a strategy to combat potential losses in the midterm elections. Such a move could trigger a crisis within NATO and has already been met with rejection from Greenlandic leaders, while Denmark has issued a warning to protect its territory.

Frank Rose, the former assistant secretary of state, warned that President Trump’s aggressive approach to Greenland could undermine the U.S.’s established access to the territory.

Despite agreeing with the strategic significance of Greenland, Rose expressed concern that Trump’s forceful rhetoric, including threats of seizing the territory, could damage relations with Denmark and jeopardize future cooperation.

“It may be a choice” between NATO and Greenland, Trump says, and the implications of this statement are nothing short of astounding. The idea itself, of even *considering* annexing Greenland, seems to have come from nowhere. It’s not a policy proposal that has been brewing for years, or even a concept that has been widely discussed. It’s a completely unexpected suggestion, and it’s understandably causing a great deal of consternation. It’s baffling that such a statement is being made, especially considering the existing alliances and the potential fallout.
The very concept of the United States acquiring Greenland, or even hinting at it, raises serious questions.… Continue reading
