Danish MP Warns US Takeover of Greenland Will Start a War
Trump has placed tariffs on Europeans nations that oppose the US seizing Greenland | Amid threats from President Donald Trump to take over Greenland, a Danish politician said that if the US seized the colony, a war would break out. Danish MP Rasmus Jarlov said that if the US military invades Greenland, “it would be a war, and we would be fighting against each other.”
In recent weeks, President Trump said the US will take control of Greenland. The President argues it is a matter of national security, as Russia or China will seize Greenland from Denmark if the US does not gain control first. In response to Trump’s threats, Denmark has begun increasing its military presence in Greenland. ● Trump’s plan to take Greenland has met stiff opposition in Europe. The President has slapped 10% tariffs on eight European countries. Trump said the tariffs would increase if those nations did not change policy and support the US seizure of Greenland. [...] The President said he did not expect Europe to push back too much if he annexed Greenland. “I don’t think they are going to push back too much,” he said, adding, “We have to have it.”
