Trump Threatens Military Invasion, Still Can’t Buy Greenland Like a Normal Billionaire
KEY POINTS
- •The White House said military action is still an option to acquire Greenland in early January 2026.
- •Senator Marco Rubio reportedly told lawmakers the military threat was a tactic to pressure Denmark into selling Greenland.
- •Since Trump's administration began, US relations with Colombia have deteriorated amid conflicts with armed drug groups.
In a plot twist stranger than a reality TV reunion, January 2026 finds the Trump administration insisting military action is 'always an option' to grab Greenland, as Marco Rubio allegedly confesses it’s a tactical bluff to strong-arm Denmark into selling the icy expanse. Meanwhile, Colombia—oil-rich but tangled in an entourage of illegal armed groups like the Gulf Clan, ELN, and splinters of the derailed Farc—watches US-Colombia relations nosedive since Trump's tenure began. This masterclass in geopolitical brinkmanship dances on frozen ground and drug trade drama, proving diplomacy now looks like an aggressive thrift store haggle featuring nuclear-powered velvet ropes.

Only Trump could turn buying a giant ice cube into a military strategy and sour Washington’s oil friendship like a soap opera with bikinis replaced by body armor.
Threatening Denmark with military force over Greenland is peak 'Dad trying to get a new BBQ grill' vibes from the US government.
Marco Rubio basically admitted using 'military option' for Greenland was a negotiation tactic—aka, yelling louder at a polite auction.
