BREAKING Trump Pushes Further on Greenland — Global Alarm Grows Another Day

President Donald Trump doubled down on his Greenland acquisition push ahead of the Davos World Economic Forum, dismissing EU opposition and posting AI-generated images of himself planting a US flag on the island. Denmark reinforced its military presence with additional troops arriving in Kangerlussuaq on January 19, while European leaders rallied for coordinated retaliation against the threatened tariffs. Global alarm intensified as Trump linked the issue to NATO security and criticized allies like the UK over separate territorial decisions.

Escalating Measures
Denmark deployed combat troops to Greenland as protests erupted in Copenhagen and Nuuk. The EU eyes its "trade bazooka" anti-coercion tool, with leaders like Macron calling threats unacceptable. Tariffs of 10% start February 1 on targeted nations, rising to 25% by June 1 unless resolved.
