A US official tells USA TODAY the Trump administration is expecting first steps on Greenland within the next 'weeks or months.'

Donald Trump’s desire to annex Greenland will not be thwarted and there could be meaningful U.S. action related to the Arctic island within “weeks or months,” according to a senior administration official.

That’s the view of Thomas Dans, Trump’s Arctic commissioner. He’s regarded as one of the main proponents of the president’s interest in Greenland, an idea first brought to Trump by billionaire and former diplomat Ronald Lauder.

Dans has been working on the issue since 2020.

    Nah I’m betting NATO does jack all and continues to be subservient to the USA.

    I don’t think that will be the case. Consider:

    Trump has demanded another NATO territory (Canada) or perhaps if he doesn’t think he could get away with that he could start to demand Iceland. With Trump, it looks like it will be the case of “give a mouse a cookie”.

    And rNATO has made it clear that they do not want America taking Greenland, it’s one of the things they are actually standing up to America on. So the question remains: Appeasement to buy time (The Chamberlain Strategy) or send in the Troops to fight the yanks.
