Shortly after the U.S. operation to capture Nicol\u00e1s Maduro, President Donald Trump\u2019s ally Katie Miller posted a picture on social media of the American flag on Greenland, writing, \u201cSOON!\u201d<\/p>\n
Greenland Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen <\/a>condemned Trump\u2019s push to take control of the territory, saying it was \u201cso disrespectful.\u201d Reuters reported that Mette Frederiksen, Denmark\u2019s prime minister, told the public broadcaster DR that \u201cif the United States attacks another NATO country, everything stops.\u201d<\/p>\n Murphy argued in the interview that Trump was not focused enough on the American people.<\/p>\n \u201cLet\u2019s also talk about what\u2019s at stake here,\u201d he said. \u201cThe president is spending every single day thinking about invading Greenland, managing the Venezuelan economy, building a ballroom. He is not thinking about the American people at all.\u201d<\/p>\n The White House has framed the administration\u2019s desire to control Greenland <\/a>as a \u201cnational security priority.\u201d White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the administration has not ruled out using the military to take control of Greenland. The U.S. already has a military base in Greenland.<\/p>\n \u201cThe President and his team are discussing a range of options to pursue this important foreign policy goal, and of course, utilizing the U.S. Military is always an option at the Commander in Chief\u2019s disposal,\u201d she said in a statement. <\/p>\n Late last week, Trump escalated the rhetoric, saying, \u201cWe are going to do something on Greenland, whether they like it or not.\u201d He claimed the territory would otherwise be taken over by Russia or China.<\/p>\n Last week, Trump posted on Truth Social<\/a> that he doubted whether NATO \u201cWOULD BE THERE FOR US IF WE REALLY NEEDED THEM\u201d but acknowledged that U.S. would \u201calways be there for NATO, even if they won\u2019t be there for us.\u201d<\/p>\n In a New York Times interview published<\/a> later in the week, the president acknowledged that \u201cit may be a choice\u201d between preserving the NATO alliance or acquiring Greenland.<\/p>\n
