Trump Ordered Greenland Invasion Plans, Faced Military Pushback: Report

  • Donald Trump reportedly asked US special forces to plan a Greenland invasion, triggering strong resistance from military generals.
  • The Joint Chiefs of Staff argued the operation would be unlawful and lack congressional approval, comparing Trump to a "five-year-old."
  • Military officials tried to divert Trump with proposals like intercepting Russian "ghost ships" or striking Iran.
  • Hardline figures in Trump's inner circle, led by Stephen Miller, pushed for swift action to secure Greenland before Russia or China expanded influence.
  • Greenland's political parties rejected Trump's pressure, stating they want to remain Greenlanders, not Americans or Danish.
