Trump Commands Special Forces to Draft Plan to Invade Greenland
Policy "hawks around the US President," emboldened by Washington's successful Jan. 3 military action in Venezuela that apprehended President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, "want to move quickly to seize the island before Russia or China makes a move," the publication reported.
The account indicates Trump has instructed the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) to architect an invasion blueprint, though the Joint Chiefs of Staff oppose the directive, contending it would violate legal standards and absence congressional authorization.
Friday saw Greenland's political party leaders declare, "We do not want to be Americans, we do not want to be Danes, we want to be Greenlanders," responding to Trump's expressed ambitions toward acquiring Greenland.
During a White House gathering Friday, Trump stated, "We are going to do something on Greenland, whether they like it or not, because if we don't do it, Russia or China will take over Greenland, and we're not going to have Russia or China as a neighbor."
He continued, "I would like to make a deal the easy way, but if we don't do it the easy way, we will do it the hard way."
Trump's remarks have triggered widespread denunciation, with European nations specifically cautioning the maneuver could precipitate NATO's collapse.
