Trump Escalates Pressure for Greenland with AI Images Depicting US Ownership

Donald Trump has sparked controversy by posting two artificial intelligence-generated images on Truth Social. The images depict Greenland as US territory, with him placing the American flag on the island. A second image shows European leaders in the Oval Office, with Canada, Greenland, and Venezuela colored with the US flag. Trump stated he believes Europeans will not strongly resist the US acquiring Greenland, arguing that Denmark cannot protect the island. He also mentioned having a conversation with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte regarding the matter and will discuss it at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
