US President Donald Trump continues to rattle allies and others with his calls to acquire Greenland:<\/p>\n

Trump says Greenland will be under US control by the time he leaves office<\/h2>\n

1 August 2026<\/p>\n

President\u00a0Donald Trump<\/a>\u00a0has predicted that Greenland will be under U.S. control by the time he leaves office in January 2029.<\/p>\n

Trump has\u00a0fiercely pushed to acquire the semi-autonomous Danish territory<\/a>\u00a0in the Arctic since before he returned to the Oval Office. The globally unpopular move has\u00a0helped strain America\u2019s relationship with its European allies<\/a>, who see it as a threat to Greenlanders\u2019 sovereignty.<\/p>\n

Real America\u2019s Voice host Steve Gruber told Trump during an audio interview Friday, \u201cI made a prediction on this program that before you left office, that Greenland would be under our operational control.\u201d …<\/p>\n

Trump has never let go of his fixation with controlling Greenland. Earlier …, the president posted an edited photo on Truth Social of him showing European leaders in the Oval Office a map of the countries, including Greenland, with an American flag superimposed over them<\/a>. https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/news\/world\/americas\/us-politics\/trump-greenland-threats-europe-b3025688.html<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Denmark has consistently opposed Donald Trump’s positions on this. \u00a0Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen stated:<\/p>\n

\n

I think the position of the Kingdom of Denmark is quite well known, and I will say that the position of the US president is also very well known. Greenland is not for sale, and the people have been very clear: They do not want to be a part of the United States. They have the right to self-determination and we will respect that. And I ask everybody else to show the same respect. As Danish prime minister, I am asking everybody to respect that we are a sovereign state and everybody needs to respect our territorial integrity. https:\/\/www.lemonde.fr\/en\/international\/article\/2026\/07\/08\/danish-pm-to-trump-greenland-has-been-very-clear-it-does-not-want-to-be-part-of-the-us_6755269_4.html#<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Instead of preventing incursions from Russia and China, the following source points to a different USA objective for Greenland:<\/p>\n

Greenland in the US Grand Strategy: Keeping the EU and PESCO Out<\/h2>\n

8 March 2026<\/p>\n

There is one objective the US cannot secure in Greenland under the current status quo, and that is to keep out the EU\u2019s newly established defence cooperation, called Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO).<\/p>\n

This helps explain why the US seeks full control of Greenland. Other explanations, such as Trump\u2019s personal political ambitions or access to natural resources, can also play a role, but function largely as political noise that obscures the real underlying interests. …<\/p>\n

As long as European states depend on US security structures through NATO and US intelligence services, European sovereignty remains limited. PESCO, established in 2017, was designed to alter this dependency. As it expands, it has the potential to develop into a major EU defence and intelligence structure, reducing US influence over European policymaking, and can over time render NATO redundant.<\/p>\n

From this perspective, the US focus on annexing Greenland appears central to its long-term strategic interests, and connects decades of efforts to prevent Eurasian integration. …<\/p>\n

French President Charles de Gaulle, who described the UK as \u201ca satellite of the United States\u201d and warned that it would serve as \u201cthe Trojan horse of the Americans\u201d in the EU.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, the Lisbon Treaty established the framework for PESCO in 2009. The UK continued to oppose its implementation, leaving PESCO dormant and often described by EU policymakers as a \u201csleeping beauty.\u201d This changed with the Brexit referendum in June 2016. …<\/p>\n

PESCO was presented as complementary to NATO, but it was widely viewed by US policymakers as a challenge to NATO and broader US strategic interests. …<\/p>\n

PESCO\u2019s access to Greenland can weaken US control over the Arctic-Atlantic region, an area of increasing importance for shipping routes, digital infrastructure, and access between Europe and Asia as climate change makes these routes more viable.<\/p>\n

PESCO has expanded relatively rapidly over 10 years, from 17 joint projects to more than 70 joint projects, covering areas such as, military mobility, surveillance, command and control, cyber capabilities, and space-based systems. Several of these projects are directly relevant to the Arctic region, most notably the Arctic Command and Control Effector and Sensor System (ACCESS), indicating a dedicated focus on developing capabilities relevant to the Arctic theatre.<\/p>\n

As the EU becomes less dependent on US security structures, it gains greater freedom to pursue independent policies that enable deeper cooperation and economic integration across Eurasia. https:\/\/countercurrents.org\/2026\/03\/greenland-in-the-us-grand-strategy-keeping-the-eu-and-pesco-out\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Large majorities in six nations express antipathy to Trump\u2019s US and support European self-assertion<\/p>\n

6 February 2026<\/p>\n

Western Europeans prize Europe\u2019s autonomy and values over transatlantic ties and will not give them up to placate\u00a0Donald Trump<\/a>, according to a poll suggesting opinions of the US have plunged to their lowest since YouGov began tracking them a decade ago.<\/p>\n

The US president\u2019s\u00a0attempted Greenland grab<\/a>\u00a0has succeeded in turning Europeans solidly against his country, the pollster\u2019s latest survey found. Large majorities in Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Great Britain all declared an unfavourable opinion.<\/p>\n

The figures, ranging from 62% in France to 84% in\u00a0Denmark<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 of which Greenland is a self-governing territory \u2013 mark a further steep rise in negative perceptions of the US even since November, when the range was between 49% and 70%.<\/p>\n

The polling also showed that in ever-increasing numbers, Europeans no longer see the US as a friendly nation, with fewer respondents in all six countries saying they still consider it an ally. … in July 2023, 80% of Danes said they saw the US as a friend or ally. Now, fewer than 26% do. … \u00a0if EU-US ties sour, for more political integration in Europe, giving the EU greater powers and decision-making capacity. Between 46% and 63% support this, significantly more than those who oppose it. https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2026\/feb\/06\/western-europeans-turning-against-us-after-greenland-threat-poll-finds<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

These are unintended consequences of Donald Trump’s statements and policies.<\/p>\n

Related to Greenland, Donald Trump, and Europe, here is something I posted here in January 2025:<\/p>\n

Donald Trump\u2019s foreign policy statements have unsettled many\u2014in the USA as well as foreign nations. He is believed by many to be more unpredictable than Richard Nixon. Many have rightly pointed out that he often acts as a bully.<\/p>\n

Greenland<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is also something referred to as the \u201claw of unintended consequences.\u201d There are consequences for the USA, Europe, and elsewhere that have and will occur because of Donald Trump\u2019s statements and actions.<\/p>\n

Consider, for one example, that after his reelection, Donald Trump stated that the United States needed to have Greenland for defense and economic purposes. Not only did that offend the governments of Denmark and Greenland, the Danish government then announced that it would greatly increase the amount of money it would spend on the defense of Greenland.[i]<\/a><\/p>\n

On January 7, 2025, Donald Trump refused to rule out military or economic actions to acquire Greenland.[ii]<\/a> The next day, European leaders warned they would not tolerate an attack on Greenland and that the continent of Europe was strong.[iii]<\/a>\u00a0… One longer term consequence of Donald Trump\u2019s rhetoric may be that the Europeans could decide that Greenland would be a useful place to conduct surveillance on the US and Canada.<\/p>\n

Additionally, it is also possible that Greenland could be used as a base to 1) interfere with US military satellite communications, 2) possibly neutralize some US military moves in Greenland, or even 3) a place to also launch an attack against the US, Canada, and\/or even the UK. The Bible teaches about a great power who will be destroyed by its friends, who become enemies (Lamentations 1:1-2)\u2014some statements by Donald Trump are pushing \u201cfriends\u201d (NATO allies) into being enemies. …<\/p>\n

The USA will be attacked by \u201cfriends\u201d consistent with the following:<\/p>\n

1\u00a0<\/sup>How lonely sits the city
\nThat was full of people!<\/p>\n

How like a widow is she,
\nWho was great among the nations!<\/p>\n

The princess among the provinces\u00a0Has become a slave!<\/p>\n

2<\/sup>\u00a0She weeps bitterly in the night,
\nHer tears are on her cheeks;
\nAmong all her lovers
\nShe has none to comfort her.<\/p>\n

All her friends have dealt treacherously with her;
\nThey have become her enemies. cf. Lamentations 1:1-2).<\/p>\n

Notice the one who was \u201cgreat among the nations\u201d will be conquered by friends, who will become enemies.<\/p>\n

The USA was prophesied to be \u201cgreat\u201d in Genesis 48:19 and is considered by international sources to be great among the nations of the world today.[v]<\/a><\/p>\n

[ii]<\/a> Trump threatens ‘very high’ tariffs on Denmark over Greenland. BBC, January 7, 2025<\/sup><\/p>\n

[iii]<\/a> Germany, France criticize Donald Trump’s Greenland threat. Deutsche Welle, January 8, 2025<\/sup><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes, the Bible teaches about a great power who will be destroyed by its friends, who become enemies (Lamentations 1:1-2). Donald Trump offending the Europeans is leading to that.<\/p>\n

Europe had basically no military interest in Greenland before Donald Trump’s statements and threats.<\/p>\n

Now, it has put some troops there and looks like it will use or build military bases there.<\/p>\n

The cited poll also pointed to Europeans wanting more integration if relations with the USA continue to sour. The Bible makes it clear that Europe will reorganize:<\/p>\n

12 “The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. 13 These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast. (Revelation 17:12-13)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Donald Trump is helping, at least indirectly, to set the stage for that.<\/p>\n

That poll, as well as others, also found that Europe wants more independence from the United States.<\/p>\n

Many of their leaders want military independence from the USA.<\/p>\n

Related to that, we put out the following video on our Bible News Prophecy<\/a>\u00a0YouTube channel:<\/p>\n

European Union wants to be militarily independent of the USA \u2013 check, European Union wants a larger military \u2013 check, European Union wants nukes \u2013 check, European Union wants this for defensive purposes \u2013will Europe acquire a great army? Will Europe defeat the Biblical King of the South? Is Europe the King of the North? Will Europe defeat the King(s) from the east? Here\u2019s a big question \u2013 will Europe conquer the United States of America? Is the United State of America mentioned in the Bible? These are fascinating questions that will be answered in the very near future. The fact that these conflicts will occur is a certainty, as they are a prophesied fact in the Bible in the book of Daniel. But when will these conflicts occur? Daniel was told to shut up the words, they were for the time of the end. Dan 12:4: \u2018But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.\u2019 We are there. This is the time of the end. Dr. Thiel will shine the light on the answers to these questions. One answer, in particular, is sure to stun thousands.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
