Greenland Prepares for Possible Invasion Amid Trump's Threats

  • Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen urged citizens to prepare for a potential military invasion, despite it being an unlikely scenario.
  • The government will establish a task force and issue guidelines, including a recommendation for residents to store five days' worth of food.
  • Donald Trump has repeatedly expressed interest in acquiring Greenland for security reasons, even posting an AI-generated image of himself planting a US flag there.
  • Greenland, part of the Kingdom of Denmark, has its own government but relies on Denmark for defense and foreign policy; Denmark has increased its Arctic defense presence.
  • Tensions are rising as Trump threatens tariffs on NATO allies deploying troops to Greenland, prompting Denmark to warn of potential trade war responses.

Why It Matters: Greenland is preparing its population for a potential invasion due to Trump's acquisition threats and rising tensions.
