Washington, January 14: President Donald Trump intensified his push to acquire Greenland on Wednesday, framing the move as a critical requirement for national security and the development of a "Golden Dome" missile defense system. In a series of posts on Truth Social, the President asserted that U.S. control of the autonomous Danish territory is necessary to prevent Russian or Chinese expansion in the Arctic. He called on NATO to "lead the way" in facilitating the acquisition, while simultaneously claiming the alliance would not be an "effective force" without American power. The comments follow the recent appointment of Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry as a special envoy to the region. While Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has repeatedly stated that Greenland is not for sale, the White House confirmed that "all options," including military force, remain on the table to secure the territory. ‘F*ck You’: Donald Trump Allegedly Hurls Abuse, Flashes Middle Finger After Being Called ‘Pedophile Protector’ by Ford Factory Worker (Watch Video).
