Top Trump Advisor: Greenland Rightfully Belongs to the US – No One Will Confront Us Militarily

A top advisor to President Trump, Stephen Miller, has caused international turmoil with statements about Greenland. He argued that Greenland rightfully belongs to the United States and that no country could resist a military attempt to annex it. These statements reinforce the uncertainty caused by Trump's initial expression of interest in buying Greenland. Miller dismissed any doubt about Trump's intentions, emphasizing that acquiring Greenland is a matter of national security for the US. The Prime Minister of Denmark, Mette Frederiksen, expressed her concern about Trump's statements, stressing that Denmark and Greenland are the only ones who can decide on the future of Greenland. She also warned that a military attack on Greenland would have serious consequences for relations with NATO. A joint statement was issued by seven European leaders, reiterating that Denmark and Greenland have the exclusive authority to decide on matters concerning Greenland. Miller's statements and the international community's reaction underscore the tension surrounding the issue of Greenland.
