Trump makes new Greenland warning in response to reporter

Trump Won’t Drop His Arctic Obsession

Donald Trump just can’t let go of Greenland. In a fresh statement, the former U.S. president once again floated the idea of seizing the icy, resource-rich island. This time, he even refused to rule out using military force.

“Something Could Happen…”

By now, most people know Trump has an unusual fixation on Greenland. While many once dismissed it as a publicity stunt, Trump has made his intentions clear: he’s serious about taking control — even though Greenland belongs to NATO ally Denmark.

In a recent NBC interview, Trump shifted the conversation. Asked about the possibility of using force to make Canada the 51st state, he called that “highly unlikely.” Yet, he immediately pivoted back to Greenland.

“Something could happen with Greenland,” Trump said. “We need that for national and international security. I just don’t see it with Canada.”

Military Action Still on the Table

Trump didn’t stop there. He doubled down, telling NBC:
“I don’t rule it out. I’m not saying I’ll do it, but I don’t rule out anything. We need Greenland very badly. It has a small population, which we’ll take care of. But we need it for international security.”

Greenland Pushes Back

Trump’s remarks sparked fresh outrage. Greenland’s newly elected prime minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, slammed the ongoing attempts to “buy” the territory.

“We will never, ever be a piece of property that can be bought,” Nielsen declared.

Still, Trump isn’t backing down. In fact, he seems more determined.
“We’ll get Greenland. Yeah, 100%,” Trump said. “Good possibility we could do it without military force — but I don’t take anything off the table.”

Eyeing Canada as the 51st State

But Greenland isn’t Trump’s only target. In the same NBC interview, he hinted at making Canada the 51st state.

Though Trump admitted he hasn’t yet raised the topic with Canada’s new prime minister, Mark Carney, he didn’t rule it out.

Notably, Carney — and about 90% of Canadians — strongly oppose the idea.

The Trump-Style Pitch

Still, Trump says he’s open to the discussion.
“I’ll always talk about that,” he said. “We subsidize Canada to the tune of $200 billion a year. We don’t need their cars, their energy, or their lumber. We have plenty.”

Then came his pitch.
“If Canada were part of the U.S., it wouldn’t cost us. It would be a cherished state. I’m a real estate guy — when I look at the map, that artificial line was just drawn with a ruler. What a beautiful country it would be.”
