“Greenland must be ready for all possibilities.”
Greenland’s Prime Minister has told his nation to prepare for a possible invasion.
Jens-Frederik Nielsen was speaking at a press conference when he made the comments, explaining that while he doesn’t think an invasion is likely, he cannot rule it out.
He said that Greenland ‘must be ready for all possibilities’, adding: “Greenland is part of NATO and, if there were to be an escalation, it would also have consequences for the rest of the world.”
This news comes just 24 hours after Denmark sent soldiers to Kangerlussuaq in Greenland.
Trump, on the other hand, has threatened the UK and a number of other European nations with 10% tariffs unless they agree with his purchase of Greenland.
He said the tariffs will begin on February 1 and will remain in place until “such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland”.
Trump announced that the plan will include Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Finland, and that they will be “charged a 10 per cent tariff” on “all and any” goods sent to the US.
Trump says this tariff will then increase to 25 per cent on June 1.
Writing on Truth Social, Trump wrote: “World Peace is at stake! China want Greenland, and there is not a thing Denmark can do about it.”
He added that “it’s time for Denmark to give back”.
Trump has also refused to rule out whether or not he will use military power to take over the island.
Just last night, the President shared a number of images of Greenland as US territory.
