Trump’s claims to Greenland could spark war between NATO countries – Danish MP
The US president has reiterated his intention to annex the Arctic island from Denmark
US President Donald Trump’s plan to take over Greenland could lead to a war between the US and Denmark, Danish MP and Defense Committee Chairman Rasmus Jarlov has warned. The lawmaker insisted that ceding the Arctic island to the US remains out of the question for Copenhagen.
Jarlov’s remarks came after Thursday’s meeting between Trump and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, where the former reaffirmed his intention for Greenland to become part of the US. Asked about his “vision on the potential annexation of Greenland,” Trump responded, “I think it will happen,” suggesting NATO could “be instrumental” in the process.
While Rutte stopped short of endorsing the idea, he acknowledged that Trump was “totally right” to raise concerns about security in the Arctic, citing the growing presence of Russia and China in the region.
In a post on X on Friday, Jarlov said Denmark does not “appreciate the Secr. Gen. of NATO joking with Trump about Greenland like this.”
“It would mean war between two NATO countries,” he warned, reiterating that Denmark has repeatedly refused to consider relinquishing control of Greenland. In a separate post, he wrote that “joining the US remains completely out of the question” for Greenland and that such a scenario “can only be achieved if the USA invades militarily.”
“Greenland has just voted against immediate independence from Denmark and does not want to be American ever,” Jarlov added, referring to the center-right Democrats victory in Greenland’s parliamentary elections this week. The party has sharply criticized Trump’s ambitions, favoring economic expansion and a gradual approach to independence.
Greenland has long been of strategic interest due to its location and untapped mineral resources. The former Danish colony was granted self-rule in 1979 but remains under Copenhagen’s control in matters of foreign policy, defense, and monetary policy. Trump first proposed buying Greenland in 2019, but the idea was swiftly rejected by both Denmark and Greenland’s government. Since returning to office, he has reignited discussions on US ownership, calling the island crucial to American security and economic interests.
While the election results suggest Greenland remains opposed to Trump’s plans, experts warn the situation could change. Although the Democrats won the most seats, they did not secure a majority and will need to form a coalition. The second-largest party, Naleraq, has signaled openness to closer ties with the US. However, some analysts believe that the Democrats may seek alliances with smaller parties that also advocate a gradual path to independence.

Russia-Ukraine conflict
Russia sent troops into Ukraine on February 24, 2022, citing Kiev’s failure to implement the Minsk agreements, designed to give the regions of Donetsk and Lugansk special status within the Ukrainian state. The protocols, brokered by Germany and France, were first signed in 2014. Former Ukrainian President Pyotr Poroshenko has since admitted that Kiev’s main goal was to use the ceasefire to buy time and “create powerful armed forces.” Russia also cited NATO’s military cooperation with Ukraine as one of the root causes of the current conflict. Kiev insists that the Russian offensive was completely unprovoked.
The People’s Republics of Donetsk and Lugansk, as well as Kherson and Zaporozhye Regions, joined Russia as a result of referendums in autumn 2022. Crimea did the same in 2014, following a Western-backed coup in Kiev.
Since late 2022, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has been promoting his so-called ‘peace formula’, which calls for Russia to withdraw from all territories claimed by Kiev and pay reparations, and for the formation of a war crimes tribunal. Russian officials called Zelensky’s plan unrealistic, while saying Moscow is ready for a diplomatic solution.

Man Accused of Plotting Third Trump ‘Assassination Attempt’ Sues for $100M
'There was an assassination that happened on that day. And it really was my character…'
The Nevada man accused of plotting a third assassination attempt on President Donald Trump has filed a $100 million defamation lawsuit against Riverside County, several outlets reported on Thursday.
Vem Miller was arrested while heading to a Trump rally in California’s Coachella Valley on Oct.12, 2024. He faced charges of possession of an unregistered shotgun, a loaded handgun and a high-capacity magazine.
Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco prematurely claimed that his deputies had “probably” foiled a third plot to kill Trump. The former president—who went on to win the presidential election—narrowly escaped two assassination attempts in July and September.

Miller, who suggested Bianco’s comments were based on a fallacy, described himself as a Trump supporter and said he wanted to see the former president at his rally.
Miller claimed he voluntarily told deputies he had the guns in his car—but said he was ignorant of California’s gun laws as the reason for transporting them. He subsequently pleaded guilty to misdemeanor weapons charges.
“There was an assassination that happened on that day,” Miller said. “And it really was my character.”
In an interview with Fox 11, Miller added, “It’s a necessary step because you have a sheriff here that thought via character assassination that he could build a reputation for himself for his governor run. And this is something that should simply not occur, that somebody in a powerful position like that gets to destroy somebody’s life and reputation for his own personal gain.”
Miller defended his lawsuit, claiming Bianco’s false statements have destroyed his life and prompted death threats.
“My parents are deeply traumatized by this,” he continued. “I’ve had just consistent threats, innuendos via social media, via text message, sometimes on a daily level. And I’ve just had to alter how I do things. Like even at the press conference today, it was just unnerving to be back in Riverside and just having to watch my back consistently all the time.”
