KEY POINTS

  • President Trump renewed his U.S. takeover push of Greenland during a January interview with The Atlantic, citing defense needs.
  • Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen publicly rejected Trump's proposal, emphasizing U.S. rights over Greenland do not exist.
  • Greenlandic Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen called Trump's Venezuela connection disrespectful, while Katie Miller hinted at U.S. ambitions on social media.

In a plot twist no one saw roasting on the Arctic tundra, President Trump revived his cherished dream of annexing Greenland, calling it an essential fortress for U.S. defense during a Sunday interview with The Atlantic—the same Atlantic where he loosely connected Greenland to Venezuela’s Maduro saga. Denmark's PM Mette Frederiksen responded with a Facebook mic drop, declaring U.S. takeover talks 'nonsense,' while Greenland’s leader Jens-Frederik Nielsen called Trump’s Greenland-on-Venezuela mashup 'so disrespectful' it deserves a cold shower. Meanwhile, right-wing podcaster Katie Miller, married to Stephen Miller (Trump’s hotline to crazy), teased 'SOON' on X, sharing a U.S.-flagged Greenland map as if starring in the next Arctic-themed blockbuster sequel.
