Trump taunts Greenland with fresh hint at mooted invasion despite heavy toll of Iran war on Americans' finances
President Donald Trump has once again floated his controversial Greenland land-grab plans with a dramatic social media post showing himself looming over the Arctic island.
The AI-generated image, shared on Friday evening, featured Trump peering over the Danish territory's mountains and colorful villages beneath the words: 'Hello, Greenland!'
It came just hours after the US' special envoy to Greenland was met with furious protesters when he arrived to open a new American consulate on the island.
Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry received a frosty reception in downtown Nuuk on Thursday, as more than 500 Greenlanders marched through the capital Nuuk waving red-and-white Greenlandic flags and holding signs reading 'Go Home USA,' 'Make America Go Away!' and 'We are not for sale.'
The protesters then turned their backs on the US consulate building and observed two minutes of silence in a symbolic rebuke of Washington's growing presence.
'Greenland belongs to us. It's our country. It doesn't belong to Denmark or the United States. We are a people and we live here,' Greenland resident Grethe Kramer Berthelsen told the AFP during the rally.
Another protest organizer, Aqqalukkuluk Fontain, told the BBC: 'Our government already told Donald Trump and his administration that Greenland is not for sale.'
It also remains to be seen how much appetite there would be for a Greenland invasion on US soil, where Americans are already feeling the pinch due to the costly Iran war
