‘Anything less is unacceptable’: Trump doubles down on U.S. takeover of Greenland, Europe braces for chaos

Donald Trump is trying to take over Greenland, and he has the top minds of his administration — Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary Marco Rubio — on the job.

Before the meeting, Greenlandic Premier Jens-Frederik Nielsen had already fired warning shots, saying that an agreement to hand over Greenland was out of the question. Nielsen said, “Greenland does not want to be owned by the USA. Greenland does not want to be governed by the USA. Greenland will not be part of the USA.
