Trump refuses to rule out Greenland INVASION as European nations scramble to avoid NATO collapse
The Daily Mail ^ | 19 Jan 2026 | PHILLIP NIETO

Donald Trump has not ruled out using force to seize Greenland from Denmark as tensions escalate between the US and NATO.

The president was asked in a telephone interview on Monday if he would use military force to take Greenland if a deal could not be reached over the Danish territory.

Trump gave a simple response: 'No comment.'

The president ramped up pressure as he imposed tariffs on eight European nations over their support for Greenland. The tariffs will start at 10 percent next month and rise again to 25 percent in June, remaining in place until a deal is reached.

Trump suggested in a private text exchange on Sunday with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre that his push to take Greenland is in retaliation for his failure to win the Nobel Peace Prize.

Denmark on Monday pulled out of the Davos summit as the crisis deepened.

Trump is set to deliver the keynote speech at the World Economic Forum at the Swiss resort on Wednesday, with the dispute over the Danish territory expected to dominate discussions between world leaders and diplomats on the sidelines.

The president has threatened to pull out of NATO if the US isn't allowed to take control of Greenland, which he claims is integral to national security.

The EU is preparing to threaten the US with retaliatory tariffs on $110 billion in goods, or potentially deny America access to the common market, according to the Financial Times.

European stock markets dropped sharply on Monday, while Wall Street was closed for Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Finland would face the tariff, Trump said in a Truth Social post on Saturday, after they sent troops to Greenland.

Team Hillary is our greatest national threat, not Russia or China.

Just look at the Afghanistan pullout debacle.

The enemies WITHIN must be arrested or our nation is done for.

In a sane world, NATO would want the US to be strategically positioned to defend them and for Greenland to be secured.

The the masks are off.

Donald Trump has not ruled out using force to seize Greenland from Denmark as tensions escalate between the US and NATO.

Perhaps Trump should consider using force to seize Minneapolis from American enemies as tensions escalate between the US and the US.

Greenland IS a strategic location against Russia and China. We already have an airport there.

Norway has done nothing to protect the land or the people.

He literally said "NO COMMENT."

Yellow journalism.

For President Trump to be so intent on Greenland, maybe he’s aware of an imminent or growing threat we’re not aware of?

Trump may be trying to force NATO to kick us out. Fine with me.

Yep, and amazing that so many posts on this thread totally ignore that important distinction. "No comment" isn't the same thing as "..not ruling invasion out."

FR's IQ steadily declines.

Did you ever think invasion possibility is supposed to appear as a Temper Tantrum? Trump is out of CONTROL ! Run for your lives!

LOL.

Oh Ye of Little Faith

Nothing shakes up the NWO socialists more than a little sabre rattling. A secret also known to the Ayatollah, Putin
and Donald Trump.Watch it work this time for the good guys.

Perhaps you might read:

1) The Art of the Deal by Donald J Trump

2)Businessman’s Book of 5 Rings (Based on Mushashi’s “Go Rin No Sho)

3)The Art of War ( Sun Tzu)

You will have the opportunity to see then how the ego of the enemy can be manipulated to one’s advantage.

Outrageous ! But effective.Very Effective.

The purchase of Greenland will be worked out by Rubio, Vance,Bessant and the NWO surrender monkies at Davos in this next week or so.

You never telegraph to your enemies what you have ruled out.

Watching to see how this goes. If Trump decides on a military option, his presidency is likely over.

True, but I think the priorities are wrong.

The Clintons took cash bribes from the Chicoms from Johnny Chung. He went to jail, NOTHING HAPPENED to them as usual.

If we have Greenland, but Hillary and her commie deep staters are STILL NOT IN JAIL, we have not secured anything.

Priorites backwards...America First!!
