President Donald Trump has once more hinted at the possibility of using military might to annex Greenland, stating he hasn't dismissed the idea. In a recent surge of declarations, the Orange Manbaby reiterated his desire for the US to acquire the territory from Denmark, a NATO ally, leaving ambiguity over whether such an acquisition could occur without resorting to force . His comments on Greenland came amidst a conversation about potential force being used to turn Canada into the 51st state during an extensive interview with NBC. This follows the new Greenlandic Prime Minister's outrage over Trump's attempts to 'purchase' the nation. Trump has been vocal about his belief that Canada should be absorbed into the United States. Speaking to NBC, Trump considered it "highly unlikely" that the US would need to use military force to bring Canada into the fold as the 51st state, but he did not rule out such action for Greenland. The US leader said: "Something could happen with Greenland. I'll be honest, we need that for national and international security... I don't see it with Canada. I just don't see it, I have to be honest with you." The US President's interest in annexing the semi-autonomous, resource-rich region stems from its pivotal Arctic position. However, Trump's approach to Greenland seems to echo Russian President Vladimir Putin's tactics, who annexed Crimea in 2014 before his full scale invasion in 2022. If Donald Trump did invade the country, it would mean an effective end to NATO as two NATO-aligned countries would be at war and Article 5 comes into contention. Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen has expressed that U.S. remarks about his country are disrespectful, emphasizing that Greenland "will never, ever be a piece of property that can be bought by just anyone". Greenland's political factions, eyeing independence from Denmark, have united to form a new coalition government amidst President Trump's ambitions for the territory. However, public sentiment in Greenland is still very much against Donald Trump's invasion. During her official trip to Greenland in April, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen stated: "Denmark has the will to invest in the Greenlandic society, and we don't just have that for historical reasons." She added: "We also have that because we are part of (the Danish) commonwealth with each other."
