Trump: 'We'll get Greenland, 100 Percent'; Military Force Not 'off Table'

The Danish foreign minister on Saturday scolded the Trump administration for its "tone" in criticizing Denmark and Greenland, saying his country is already investing more into Arctic security and remains open to more cooperation with the U.S.

"We'll get Greenland. Yeah, 100%," Trump told NBC News in an interview.

He added there is a "good possibility that we could do it without military force" but "I don’t take anything off the table."

Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen responded in a video posted to social media after Vice President JD Vance's visit to the strategic island. But Trump responded later Saturday.

"Many accusations and many allegations have been made. And of course we are open to criticism," Rasmussen said speaking in English. "But let me be completely honest: we do not appreciate the tone in which it is being delivered. This is not how you speak to your close allies. And I still consider Denmark and the United States to be close allies."

Greenland is a territory of Denmark, which is a NATO ally of the United States. Trump wants to annex the territory, claiming it’s needed for national security purposes.

In Saturday's interview, Trump allowed that "I think there’s a good possibility that we could do it without military force."

"This is world peace, this is international security," he said, but added: "I don’t take anything off the table."

Trump also said "I don’t care" when asked in the NBC interview what message it would send to Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is trying to solidify his hold on Ukrainian territory three years after his invasion.

Vance on Friday said Denmark has "underinvested" in Greenland’s security and demanded that Denmark change its approach as Trump pushes to take over the Danish territory.

Vance visited U.S. troops on Pituffik Space Base on mineral-rich Greenland alongside his wife and other senior U.S. officials for a trip that was ultimately scaled back after an uproar among Greenlanders and Danes who were not consulted about the original itinerary.

"Our message to Denmark is very simple: You have not done a good job by the people of Greenland," Vance said Friday. "You have underinvested in the people of Greenland, and you have underinvested in the security architecture of this incredible, beautiful landmass filled with incredible people. That has to change."

Trump on Friday released a video on his social networking site Truth Social entitled "America Stands With Greenland," showing footage of U.S. troops there during World War II.

In Greenland, Vance said the U.S. has "no option" but to take a significant position to ensure the security of the island as he encouraged a push in Greenland for independence from Denmark.

"I think that they ultimately will partner with the United States," Vance said. "We could make them much more secure. We could do a lot more protection. And I think they’d fare a lot better economically as well."

The reaction by members of Greenland’s parliament and residents has rendered that unlikely, with anger erupting over the Trump administration’s attempts to annex the vast Arctic island. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen pushed back on Vance’s claim that Denmark isn’t doing enough for defense in the Arctic, calling her country "a good and strong ally."

And Greenlandic lawmakers on Thursday agreed to form a new government, banding together to resist Trump's overtures. Four of the five parties elected to Greenland’s parliament earlier this month have agreed to form a coalition that will have 23 of 31 seats in the legislature.

The following day, Danish King Frederik X posted on Facebook: "We live in an altered reality. There should be no doubt that my love for Greenland and my connectedness to the people of Greenland are intact."

Hundreds of protesters demonstrated Saturday outside the U.S. Embassy in the Danish capital Copenhagen with some lifting signs saying, "back off, USA" Danish broadcaster TV2 reported.

Even Greenland's national dogsled race – Avannaata Qimussersu – which kicked off Saturday with some 37 mushers and 444 dogs was not left unaffected. Usha Vance, the vice president's wife, who was originally scheduled to attend the race opted out when her husband decided to join the trip and visit the military base instead, reducing the likelihood that they would cross paths with Greenlanders.

Løkke Rasmussen, in his video, reminded viewers of the 1951 defense agreement between Denmark and the United States. Since 1945, the American military presence in Greenland has decreased from thousands of soldiers over 17 bases and installations on the island, he said, to the remote Pituffik Space Base in the northwest with some 200 soldiers today.

The 1951 agreement "offers ample opportunity for the United States to have a much stronger military presence in Greenland," the foreign minister said. "If that is what you wish, then let us discuss it."

Løkke Rasmussen added that Denmark has increased its own investment into Arctic defense. In January, Denmark announced 14.6 billion Danish kroner (US$2.1 billion) in financial commitments for Arctic security covering three new naval vessels, long-range drones and satellites.

Maryland Loses Bid for D.C. Fighter Jets, White House Says

https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/maryland-air-national-guard-f-16/2025/03/29/id/1204895/

Maryland will not receive the D.C. Air National Guard's F-16 fighter jets, ending a long-fought campaign by state leaders to preserve a flying mission for the Maryland Air National Guard, a White House official confirmed Friday, The Washington Post reported.

The White House has scrapped plans to relocate the D.C. Air National Guard's elite F-16 fighter jet squadron to Maryland, dashing hopes that the state would secure a new flying mission tied to a high-stakes political deal involving Washington's RFK Stadium.

"The F-16s will stay with the DC ANG," a White House official said in a statement to The Washington Post. "The Trump Administration will continue to prioritize readiness and Warfighting to achieve Peace through Strength for the United States."

Maryland had pushed aggressively to acquire the jets, with backing from its congressional delegation and Democrat Gov. Wes Moore, who aimed to replace the state's aging A-10 Thunderbolt II jets set to be decommissioned later this year. Maryland will become the only state without a flying unit in its Air National Guard without a replacement mission.

The shift follows significant political turnover.

Former Sen. Ben Cardin D-Md., a leading advocate for the transfer, has since retired. President Joe Biden left office, and President Donald Trump now oversees the D.C. National Guard.

Earlier this month, Maryland's congressional delegation sent a letter to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, urging him to halt the decommissioning of the A-10s.

"The previous Administration failed to provide for a follow-on flying mission for the Maryland Air National Guard (MDANG) to support our national needs and did not finalize the establishment of a more robust cyber wing," the lawmakers wrote. The letter, signed by all state delegation members, including Rep. Andy Harris, R-Md., chair of the House Freedom Caucus, asked for urgent intervention.

Though Moore's office declined to comment directly on the decision to keep the F-16s in D.C., a spokesperson said the administration is working "to have a long-term flying mission for the Maryland Air National Guard — in addition to the work the State of Maryland is undertaking for the creation of a cyber wing."

Maryland's pursuit of the jets became entangled in late 2023 negotiations over legislation granting D.C. control of the federally owned RFK Stadium site. In exchange for Maryland dropping objections to the RFK bill, then Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall reportedly assured lawmakers the fighter jets would be transferred.

Seventeen retired D.C. generals raised national security concerns, noting Maryland pilots were not certified to fly F-16s and citing potential readiness gaps in one of the nation's most strategic airspaces.

"It's a small victory for D.C. National Guard," said retired Maj. Gen. George M. Degnon, a letter signatory. "But it's a loss for the Air Force at large that they're not recapitalizing these units going away."

Brig. Gen. Ed Jones, former Maryland Air National Guard commander, said the loss threatens hundreds of jobs: "All that experience … it just goes away."

UK Parents Arrested for Complaining in Group Chat

After complaining on a WhatsApp group chat for parents about the conditions of their children's school, two British parents were arrested in front of their 3-year-old daughter, British publication The Times reported.

The arrests occurred after Maxie Allen and Rosalind Levine raised concerns about the head teacher recruitment process at Cowley Hill Primary School in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, England, in May 2024.

The next month, the school's chair of governors, Jackie Spriggs, wrote to the parents about making "inflammatory and defamatory" comments on social media, warning the school would act against anyone who caused "disharmony."

The warning sparked reactions in the parents' group.

"Can you imagine what the 'action' is," Levine wrote to parents in the group, mocking the threat. "'Hello 999, one of the school mums said something mean about me in a school mum WhatsApp group. Please can you arrest them?'"

Following months of correspondence, including emails about their 9-year-old daughter Sascha's medical and educational needs, the couple was banned from school premises. On Jan. 29, six police officers arrived at their home, arresting Allen and Levine on suspicion of harassment, malicious communications, and causing a nuisance on school property.

The couple was detained for eight hours, fingerprinted, and searched while their 3-year-old daughter, Francesca, watched from the hallway. After a five-week investigation, police concluded there was insufficient evidence for further action.

"At no point were we given a smoking gun — the email or comment that formed the basis of this. The reason they haven't given it is because it doesn't exist," Allen said.

The British police defended the arrests, saying the number of officers was justified to care for any children present. And the school said it sought police "advice" due to a "high volume of direct correspondence and public social media posts from two parents, as this was becoming upsetting for staff, parents, and governors."

Neither the police nor the school provided specific examples of the alleged offending communications.

NASA: Winter Arctic Sea Ice at Historic Low

Sea ice in the Arctic during the winter, when it's at its highest coverage, was the "lowest it's ever been at its annual peak on March 22, 2025," NASA reported Thursday.

As of March 22, sea ice coverage was at 5.53 million square miles, which marks the smallest surface area coverage in the 47-year satellite record, according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center.

Melinda Webster, a sea ice scientist at the University of Washington, told The Washington Post that the data indicates the climate is changing.

"We need the sea ice to act like an air conditioning unit for the planet," she said.

In the Antarctic, sea ice shrank to its second-lowest level on record.

Walt Meier, an ice scientist with NSIDC, said of the findings, "It's not yet clear whether the Southern Hemisphere has entered a new norm with perennially low ice or if the Antarctic is in a passing phase that will revert to prior levels in the years to come."

People are shocked by what is going on with the Court System. I was elected for many reasons, but a principal one was LAW AND ORDER, a big part of which is QUICKLY removing a vast Criminal Network of individuals, who came into our Country through the Crooked Joe Biden Open Borders Policy! These are dangerous and violent people, who kill, maim and, in many other ways, harm the people of our Country. The Voters want them OUT, and said so in Record Numbers. If it was up to District Judge Boasberg and other Radical Left Judges, nobody would be removed, the President wouldn’t be allowed to do his job, and people’s lives would be devastated all throughout our Country. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
