Trump Warns Europe on Greenland Takeover: 'Say Yes or We'll Remember'

  • US President Donald Trump asserted that the United States is the only nation capable of securing Greenland and sought immediate negotiations for its acquisition.
  • Trump stated he would not use force for the takeover but insisted on US 'ownership' of the Danish autonomous territory, warning Europe of consequences if they refuse.
  • He criticized NATO ally Denmark as 'ungrateful' and emphasized Greenland's strategic importance for US and NATO security against Russia and China.
  • European leaders, including Canada's PM Mark Carney and NATO chief Mark Rutte, expressed concerns about Trump's stance, calling for 'thoughtful diplomacy' and warning of a 'rupture' in the global order.
  • France proposed a NATO exercise in Greenland and warned against US attempts to 'subordinate Europe,' threatening countermeasures against potential US tariffs.

Why It Matters: Trump demands Greenland, warns Europe of repercussions for refusal, sparking transatlantic tensions and NATO concerns.
