President Donald Trump issued a warning to NATO on Wednesday morning.
Taking to Truth Social, Trump wrote, "The United States needs Greenland for the purpose of National Security. It is vital for the Golden Dome that we are building. NATO should be leading the way for us to get it. IF WE DON’T, RUSSIA OR CHINA WILL, AND THAT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN! Militarily, without the vast power of the United States, much of which I built during my first term, and am now bringing to a new and even higher level, NATO would not be an effective force or deterrent - Not even close! They know that, and so do I. NATO becomes far more formidable and effective with Greenland in the hands of the UNITED STATES.
Anything less than that is unacceptable. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT"
Russia and China are closer to the United States land through Alaska than they are to Greenland.
The U.S. also already has a Space Force base on Greenland. The Island is also part of NATO since it is part of Denmark. So, if Greenland is attacked by China and Russia NATO is attacked and all members will fight back.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has long sought to eliminate NATO, Business Insider explained in a report after the invasion of Crimea.
"Trump declares war on Greenland, Denmark, and NATO. Will someone remove this man from office before he has the armed forces killing and dying all over the world. Well, we do now. This is much worse. Putin over Nato? I take NATO. National healthcare. But I was born into the big lie," commented a self-described intelligence worker named John Burden.
