US President Donald Trump has made a startling claim, stating that Denmark has failed to address the growing Russian threat in Greenland, prompting him to consider taking decisive action. The US President took to his social media platform, Truth Social, to express his concerns, stating that NATO has been warning Denmark about Russian activities in Greenland for the past 20 years, but to no avail.
Trump emphasized that the time has come for the US to take a firm stance, writing, “Now is the time, and it will happen.” It is worth noting that Greenland is a self-governing territory of Denmark.
