Donald Trump said Friday his administration will take action on Greenland “whether they like it or not,” further escalating his rhetoric as he pushes to acquire the Danish territory for the U.S.
The comments came during a meeting with oil executives to discuss the prospect of doing business in Venezuela. Less than a week earlier, the U.S. military invaded the oil-rich South American nation and captured its leader, Nicolás Maduro.
Denmark and its European allies in NATO – the military alliance co-founded by the U.S. – have pushed back, reiterating that Greenland is not for sale. But the Trump administration nevertheless says it is currently weighing a range of options on Greenland, including utilizing the U.S. military or cutting a deal to purchase it from Denmark.
Please don’t hit DC or anywhere else really. DC especially is super cool and voted like 95% against him.
He spends more time at Mar a Lago anyways
yeah Florida is completely fine, like… yall can take the whole state if you want
I mean D.C. Doesn’t even have representatives in the union though, right?
Yeah they’ve already got a shit situation, don’t make it worse for them. There have been more and more serious talks about moving the actual federal district to only a few blocks around the Capitol and White House buildings, and for DC to be absorbed into MD or VA, but no one seems to be happy about it. It has more people than 2 other states, yet has no Senators or Reps.
