Trump says Greenland is ‘vital’ to U.S. national security interests

Greenland is vital to US national interests says Trump

U.S. President Donald Trump has defended his renewed push for control over Greenland, arguing the Arctic island is essential to America’s national security following the appointment of a special US envoy to the territory.

Trump said Greenland’s strategic position makes it critical as Russian and Chinese vessels increasingly operate in the region, insisting the US “has to have it” for security reasons.

“We need Greenland for national security,” Trump told reporters on Monday. “You look up and down the coast, you have Russian and Chinese ships all over the place. We need it for national security. We have to have it,” he added.

His comments came after he named Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry as a special envoy focused on Greenland, a move that sparked sharp criticism from Denmark, which retains sovereignty over the self-governing island.



Danish officials condemned the appointment as unacceptable and summoned the US ambassador in response.

While Trump has repeatedly highlighted Greenland’s military value and natural resources and has not ruled out annexation, Denmark has firmly rejected any suggestion of a takeover. The US has maintained a military presence on Greenland for decades, and Washington says it supports the right of Greenlanders to decide their own future, even as diplomatic tensions over the issue continue to rise.

    Is there a connection between ISIS and the Bondi beach massacre?
    Based on the latest speculative reporting, yes — investigators believe there is a connection, though the extent of that connection is still being examined
    Police described it as a terrorist attack motivated by ISIS

  2. Another ugly, clown show, US administration. Attacks on peaceful Venezuela, backing the murder in Gaza and now pestering the Greenlanders because, shock horror, Russian and Chinese ships pass by a place that’s nowhere near the USA. They best knock off the imperialism or they might just start WWIII.

    • The US may be looking for an alternative source of oil in its Own hemisphere if another attack on Iran – which some say is imminent – by the Jews results in the Strait of Hormuz being closed interrupting oil supplies.
      America has refineries on its East Coast that can quite easily refine Venezuela heavy high sulfur crude.

    Haven’t watched this yet
    Hal Turner is talking about another attack on Iran like the twelve day war
    Which won’t result in an honorable discharge this time round with the US fabricating a fake attack on nuclear facilities – feigning their destruction – as an off ramp to extricate the Jews from their gross under estimation of Iranian defenses and capabilities

      • AI says the shooters had two guns
        One Beretta BRX1 straight‑pull rifle
        Two Stoeger M3000 M3K 12‑gauge shotguns
        According to multiple news sources, including ABC News and Wikipedia summaries of the police investigation, the Beretta BRX1 straight‑pull rifle was operated by Sajid Akram, the father in the father‑and‑son pair who carried out the attack
        While the sources don’t explicitly state “Sajid held the Beretta” in a single sentence, the reporting consistently attributes the higher‑powered rifle to the father, with the son using the two Stoeger shotguns.

        So what we appear to have is a classic case of post False Flag confusion
        Which is what the organizers would have wanted and were striving for
        See above comment

  4. Trump doesn’t even know the difference between an island and a continent.
    Greenland is a continent under Danish rule.
    This is why the Scandinavian Nations began compulsory military service for both men & women, Denmark especially, for the defence of Greenland and Iceland!
    Thule, Greenland is where the U.S. Air Tanker and Bombers were to go to after completing their missions…but the base remaining intact was very questionable post-nuclear war.
    Greenland will remain under Danish control, as will Iceland, and several Canadian Provinces will up and leave Carney’s globally-based communist rule which will be inposed by the WEF, WHO and Blackrock.
    These ‘World leaders’ are owned and run by Israel and their Israeli NGO’s, Yodahs, and bribe money via insider trading in all of the so-called ‘Free markets’…

    • Greenland is an island, not a continent, no matter how much you want it to be.

      Also, Iceland is not under Danish control. It is an independent country.
