US President-elect Donald Trump said yesterday that he would not rule out military action to take Greenland and the Panama Canal. His son, Don Jr., also visited Greenland yesterday:<\/p>\n

January 8, 2025<\/p>\n

Donald Trump Jr., fresh off a whirlwind trip to Greenland, told Newsmax<\/a> on Tuesday night that there’s a groundswell of support among the people he met that would love to see the Arctic territory have an “alliance” with the United States instead of Denmark. …<\/p>\n

Noting the “warm” reception that he got in Greenland, Don Jr. told “Finnerty<\/a>” that the Greenlandics he spoke with don’t get that same warm feeling from Denmark.<\/p>\n

“[T]hey made it very clear that Denmark has prevented them from utilizing some of the incredible natural resources that Greenland has to offer,” Don Jr. said. “They basically are treated like second-class citizens. When they go to Denmark, when they go to Copenhagen, numerous young guys told us, hey, we’re told to ‘go home, Inuit, go home Eskimo.’ They don’t love the way that they’ve been treated.”<\/p>\n

He added, “Beyond that, for the United States, it’s an incredible strategic location for so many things, whether it be shipping or militarily. … The reception we received was so warm. It was actually, you know, absolutely outstanding. I couldn’t be happier with the trip.<\/p>\n

“And there seems to be a lot of desire on the ground for those people to, you know, have an alliance with America,” Don Jr. said, adding he would love to see Greenland become an American territory like Puerto Rico. https:\/\/www.newsmax.com\/newsfront\/donald-trump-jr-newsmax-greenland\/2025\/01\/07\/id\/1194242\/<\/a><\/p>\n

President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday wouldn’t rule out exercising military or economic coercion to further his goal of bringing both Greenland and the Panama Canal<\/a><\/span> under U.S. control, as his son, Donald Trump Jr., is in Greenland amid Trump’s push to acquire the autonomous territory of Denmark.<\/p>\n

“I can’t assure you, you’re talking about Panama and Greenland,” Trump told reporters during a press conference at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. “No, I can’t assure you on either of those two. But I can say this \u2014 we need them for economic security.”<\/p>\n

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen rejected Trump’s designs on Greenland but said she’d continue to welcome American interest and investment, in light of Trump Jr.’s visit. 01\/07\/25 https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/greenland-donald-trump-jr-visit-denmark\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Before going further, allow me to add that many in Puerto Rico do not want to be a territory of the United States.<\/p>\n

Today, in reaction to Donald Trump’s comments, France warned that Europe would defend Greenland from attack and Germany also spoke out about Greenland:<\/p>\n

Europe will not allow attacks, says France, after Trump Greenland threat<\/h2>\n

8 January 2025<\/p>\n

\n

France has said the European Union will not allow other nations to attack its “sovereign borders”, after US President-Elect Donald Trump refused to rule out using military force to seize Greenland.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Trump reiterated his desire to acquire the autonomous Danish territory, saying it was “critical” for national and economic security.<\/p>\n

French Foreign Minister Jean-No\u00ebl Barrot told French radio “there is obviously no question that the European Union would let other nations of the world attack its sovereign borders, whoever they are”.<\/p>\n

Barrot said he did not believe the US was going to invade the vast Arctic island, but he was clear the EU should not let itself be intimidated. https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/ckg9gvg3452o<\/a><\/p>\n

8 January 2025<\/p>\n

Germany<\/a> said borders must not be changed by force after US President-elect Donald Trump refused to rule out military action<\/a> to take control of Greenland. …<\/p>\n

German government spokesman Steffen Hebestreit said that “as always, the firm principle applies… that borders must not be moved by force,” highlighting international agreements such as the UN Charter. …<\/p>\n

French<\/a> Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot\u00a0also demanded that Trump should not threaten\u00a0the European Union’s<\/a> “sovereign borders.”<\/p>\n

“There is no question of the EU letting other nations in the world, whoever they may be, attack its sovereign borders,” Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot told France Inter radio.<\/p>\n

He added that, while he did not believe the US “would invade” Greenland, “we have entered an era that is seeing the return of the law of the strongest.”<\/p>\n

“There is obviously no question that the European Union would let other nations of the world attack its sovereign borders, whoever they are,” Barrot said. “We are a strong continent.” https:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/germany-france-criticize-donald-trumps-greenland-threats\/a-71244465<\/a><\/p>\n

The European Commission on Wednesday danced around questions about U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s comments about wanting to take over Greenland. …<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is clear that the sovereignty of states has to be respected,\u201d Commission spokesperson Anitta Hipper said, …<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore that, for some months publicly, the Commission, the EEAS and diplomats in some member states were stating that an invasion was a hypothetical scenario, so there\u2019s no need to intervene,\u201d said correspondent of the Italian Radio Radicale, David Carretta.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat President Trump said yesterday was a military threat to a member state, which is real: He is the president-elect of the most powerful country in the world. Are you conscious that there is a risk?\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Greenland is not in the EU but is classed as an \u201cOverseas Territory<\/a>\u00a0associated with the EU.\u201d Of the almost 57,000 people who live on the giant, mineral-rich island, only about 2,000 are non-Danes, meaning the population mostly consists of EU citizens.<\/p>\n

Although the Commission confirmed that any military action against Greenland would activate the EU’s mutual assistance clause<\/a> in Article 42(7) of the Treaty, it refused to answer whether it assesses that there’s a real risk of the U.S. invading Denmark’s overseas territory, calling the case \u201cvery theoretical.\u201d https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/eu-dodges-questions-donald-trump-invasion-greenland-military\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The comments from Donald Trump are telling the Europeans that he does not trust them and that he wants US dominance–and European leaders do not like that.<\/p>\n

There will be many unintended consequences of Donald Trump’s statements and policies.<\/p>\n

A couple of weeks ago, right after Donald Trump made some other comments about acquiring Greenland, Denmark announced increased military spending for Greenland (see Denmark to boost defense spending in Greenland after Donald Trump\u2019s remarks\u2013could Greenland become militarized against the US?<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Now, here is some background related to the United States’ presence in Greenland:<\/p>\n

After the German occupation of Denmark<\/a> on 9 April 1940, Henrik Kauffmann<\/a>, Danish Ambassador to the United States, made an agreement “In the name of the king” with the United States, authorizing the United States to defend the Danish colonies on Greenland from German aggression \u2013 this agreement faced Kauffmann with a charge of high treason<\/a> by the protectorate Government<\/a>. The first US-sponsored installations at Thule were established after the US Secretary of State Cordell Hull<\/a> and the defected Danish Minister to the United States Henrik Kauffmann signed The Agreement relating to the Defense of Greenland<\/i> in Washington, D.C.<\/a>, on the symbolically chosen date of 9 April 1941. The treaty, denounced by the Danish government, allowed the United States to operate military bases in Greenland “for as long as there is agreement” that the threat to North America existed. …<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In 1949, Denmark joined NATO<\/a> (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) and abandoned its attempt to remove the United States bases. By the outbreak of the Korean War<\/a> next year, the USAF embarked on a global program of base-building in which Thule (at the time) would be considered the crown jewel owing to its location across the Pole from the USSR<\/a>, as well as its merit of being the northernmost port to be reliably resupplied by ship. Thule became a key point in American nuclear retaliation strategy. Strategic Air Command<\/a> (SAC) bombers flying over the Arctic<\/a> presented less risk of early warning than using bases in the United Kingdom. Defensively, Thule could serve as a base for intercepting bomber attacks along the northeastern approaches to Canada and the US.<\/p>\n

A board of Air Force officers headed by Gordon P. Saville<\/a> made a recommendation to pursue a base at Thule in November 1950. It was subsequently supported by the Joint Chiefs of Staff<\/a> and approved by President Truman<\/a>. To replace the agreement entered into during World War II between the US and Denmark, a new agreement with respect to Greenland was ratified on 27 April 1951 (effective on 8 June 1951). At the request of NATO, the agreement became a part of the NATO defense program. The pact specified that the two nations would arrange for the use of facilities in Greenland by NATO forces in defense of the NATO area known as the Greenland Defense Area.<\/p>\n

Thule Air Base was constructed in secret under the code name Operation Blue Jay<\/a>, but the project was made public in September 1952. …<\/p>\n

Thule became an Air Force Space Command base in 1982. Today Thule is home to the 821st Air Base Group, which exercises air base support responsibilities within the Thule Defense Area. …<\/p>\n

In 2020, Thule Air Base was formally transferred to the United States Space Force<\/a>. On 6 April 2023, Thule was renamed Pituffik Space Base, reflecting its status as a Space Force base and the native name for the region. (Pituffik Space Base. Wikipedia, accessed 01\/08\/25)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, the US has long had a military presence in Greenland. In theory, it could probably declare that Greenland is a US territory. But that would seem to require Congressional approval as the U.S. Constitution grants Congress the power to “dispose of and make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the Territory or other Property belonging to the United States” (Article IV, Section 3)–and not just a declaration from its president.<\/p>\n

If the US Congress did that now, Europe is not currently in a position to actually control Greenland militarily, but would likely bide its time and plan to take it back if Greenland was declared a US territory–which it would (cf. Daniel 11:39).<\/p>\n

Just over two weeks ago, I posted the following:<\/p>\n

US President-elect Donald Trump continues to make statements that are stirring up various ones around the world. A day after telling Panama to change or risk its canal operations being taken over (see Donald Trump threatens Panama and suggests the USA may need to take the canal back<\/span><\/a>), he has again floated the idea of buying Greenland: …<\/p>\n

Denmark is not pleased with Donald Trump\u2019s proposal, and Greenland is not pleased with Donald Trump\u2019s proposal.<\/p>\n

There will be many unintended consequences because of various of Donald Trump\u2019s statements and actions.<\/p>\n

Donald Trump is turning Latin America, Europe, and many others against him and the United States.(Thiel B. After threatening Panama, Donald Trump floats buying Greenland. He also declared that two genders would be the official US policy<\/span><\/a>. COGwriter, December 23, 2024)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Two days after posting that, I posted the following:<\/p>\n

However, while the US has long used Greenland as a base to conduct surveillance on the Soviet Union and now Russia, it is possible that the Europeans may decide that Greenland could be a useful place to conduct surveillance on the US and Canada.<\/p>\n

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 and Canada.<\/p>\n

Sound preposterous?<\/p>\n

It is not.<\/p>\n

The Bible is clear that the power with the strongest military will one day be defeated by the coming European King of the North beast power (Daniel 11:39). (Thiel B. Denmark to boost defense spending in Greenland after Donald Trump\u2019s remarks\u2013could Greenland become militarized against the US?<\/a> COGwriter, December 25, 2025)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The comments from France and Germany suggest that the Europeans are now trying to come up with a plan related to Greenland and the US.<\/p>\n

I would suspect that they will try to make some type of concessions to the US, while they plan to work against US interests there.<\/p>\n

Let’s look at the following which is in our free online book Lost Tribes and Prophecies:\u00a0What will happen to Australia, the British Isles, Canada, Europe, New Zealand and the United States of America?<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The U.S.A., itself, has repeatedly shown the Europeans that it does not trust them, yet scripture suggests it sometimes will trust them too much. According to the Bible, the time will come when the U.S.A. will find that continental Europe will be an enemy (cf. Isaiah 10:5-11) and not an ally (Ezekiel 23:4,9-10). The Bible warns:<\/p>\n

2<\/sup> All her friends have dealt treacherously with her; They have become her enemies. (Lamentations 1:2)<\/p>\n

Europe will cooperate with the U.S.A. as long as it feels the relationship is beneficial, and then (as prophecy foretells) one day turn totally against the U.S.A.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Bible teaches about a great power who will be destroyed by its friends, who become enemies (Lamentations 1:1-2).<\/p>\n

Some of Donald Trump’s statements are pushing US allies to consider being enemies.<\/p>\n

And yes, Greenland could end up playing a role against the US.<\/p>\n
