Trump Orders Special Forces to Plan Greenland Invasion Amidst Military Resistance
- •US President Donald Trump ordered Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) to prepare a plan for the invasion of Greenland.
- •Senior military figures, including the joint chiefs of staff, are resisting the plan, deeming it illegal and unlikely to gain Congressional support.
- •The plan, led by Stephen Miller, aims to seize Greenland before Russia or China can, following the Venezuela operation's success.
- •Trump is also reportedly motivated by a desire to distract American voters from the US economy's performance before mid-term elections.
- •Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen warned that a US seizure of Greenland would mean the "end of NATO" and called the idea absurd.
Why It Matters: Trump ordered a Greenland invasion plan, facing military and international resistance over legality and sovereignty concerns.
