 "Trump shares illustration of himself, Rubio and Vance planting US flag in Greenland")
US President Donald Trump has shared an illustration of himself planting the national flag in Greenland with State Secretary Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance by his side.
The image shows Trump holding a US flag and standing beside a road signboard that says “Greenland, US Territory, Est. 2026”.
Trump has been relentlessly pushing to acquire Greenland despite rejection calls from within the island country, Denmark and Europe. In fact, the president has threatened 100 per cent tariffs on European countries for rejecting his Greenland acquisition plan.
Trump has suggested that he might employ alternative tactics to acquire Greenland, despite European leaders voicing concerns over his threats to seize the territory from Denmark.
When asked by reporters before he headed to the World Economic Forum in Davos how far he would go, Trump replied only: “You’ll find out.” “We have a lot of meetings scheduled on Greenland, and I think things are going to work out pretty well,” Trump added.
Denmark has warned that the entire NATO alliance is at risk if Trump moves forward on threats. Over the weekend, Trump vowed fresh tariffs on European countries, including Britain, France and Germany, which sent troops to Greenland in solidarity.
The president claimed that the Nato “will be very happy” about what he works out on Greenland, but fell short in providing details.
“I think that we will work something out where NATO is going to be very happy and where we’re going to be very happy," Trump told reporters.
