Movies Desperate Trump Takes Fresh Measures For Bid to Control Greenland

Americas' Secret Underground Military Facility in Greenland

When the Pentagon Dug Secret Cold War Ice Tunnels to Hide Nukes

The project, dubbed "Project Iceworm," sounds like a setting for a James Bond spy movie—except it was real and the remains present a toxic mess


AP 23 JAN 2024

On a clear, cold day in May 1959, two U.S. Army officers clad in polar gear gazed through their aviator sunglasses at the endless white horizon before them.

Standing heroically in front of Arctic personnel carriers, Col. John Kerkering and Capt. Thomas Evans took measurements for a new military installation to be buried beneath Greenland’s ice cap. They called it “Camp Century.”



Camp Century

The proposed facility in northwestern Greenland was publicly touted as a “nuclear-powered Arctic research center” nestled in a wilderness of ice and snow. But the real reason for this Cold War base was to build and maintain a secret network of tunnels and missile silos connected by rail cars known as “Operation Iceworm.”

It was the tense days of the Cold War when a rivalry between the nuclear powers of United States and the Soviet Union had military leaders constantly scheming new ways to outfox the other side. Pentagon planners thought that by shuttling 600 nuclear-tipped “Iceman” missiles (a new moniker for the existing Minuteman) back and forth between 2,100 silos, they could keep their counterparts in the Soviet Union guessing. Imagine a potentially deadly game of atomic “whack-a-mole” spread out across 52,000 square miles of northern Greenland.

“We needed a flat surface, a level with less than one degree of slope,” Evans says in a voiceover of a U.S. Army film, released in 1960, documenting the scout mission for the site. “This would minimize construction problems by enabling us to keep all of our tunnels on the same level.”




Here's How the Truman Doctrine Established the Cold War

Once the location was settled, hundreds of military engineers and technicians trekked 150 miles from the existing Thule Air Base along Greenland’s northwest coast to the Camp Century site. From 1959 to 1961, they dug hundreds of feet into the compacted snow, fashioning an underground city with a sleeping quarters, laboratories, offices, a barber shop, laundry, library and warm showers for 200 soldiers.

The American public didn’t know about Project Iceworm until a Danish Parliament investigation published documents about the secret project in 1997, but they did know about Camp Century. Television crews and journalists from National Geographic and the New York Times visited as the camp took shape.

So, too, were an unlikely pair of Boy Scouts, one from Kansas and one from Demark. They won a contest to visit Camp Century and their letters and diary entries sent home revealed much about the daily life in their frozen, underground city, according to Kristian Nielsen, head of the Centre for Science Studies at Denmark’s Arhaus University.

Camp Century was a Pentagon-built base in northwestern Greenland that was publicly touted as a “nuclear-powered Arctic research center.”

But its real purpose was to build and maintain a secret network of tunnels and missile silos connected by rail cars known as “Operation Iceworm.”


Nielsen also found accounts that soldiers living underground worried about exposure to radiation from a nuclear reactor that powered the station. “We had a hard time finding out about this,” Nielsen says. “It was a concern for them.”

The underlying public message of Camp Century was to show how ordinary Americans (albeit soldiers) could live and work in a remote location, almost as a stepping stone to a space colony. Army researchers did perform some science, including drilling the first ice core to the base of the Greenland ice sheet, a core that provided information to scientists about the past climate.

All the while, however, planners back at the Pentagon were trying to figure out how to use Camp Century to coordinate a secret missile installation.

Despite the Cold War propaganda and amazing feats of engineering, the ice-bound underground installation ultimately didn’t work. Operation Iceworm was shut down because the walls of snow and ice kept moving, squeezing the tracks that carried the missile train. Problems with the nuclear reactor forced its removal in 1964 and by 1966, the Army had abandoned Camp Century altogether.






Nielsen says the experiment also failed because of politics. Danish officials had a policy of no nuclear weapons on Danish soil, even though it allowed the U.S. military to use Greenland as a staging area.

And a Pentagon dispute erupted between generals at the Army—who wanted their own missile system at Camp Century—against Air Force and Navy officials who wanted control over positioning of the nation’s nuclear missiles.


“It was a turf battle,” he says.

Camp Century was shuttered, and engineers figured that ice would eventually entomb the abandoned station. But decades later, warming temperatures under climate change presented a problem.

In 2016, a team of scientists reported that the rapid warming of the Greenland ice sheet could lead to the exposure of radioactive, toxic and human waste that remains at Camp Century, possibly leaking into the streams that lead to the ocean.

“It’s just a matter of time,” says Mike MacFerrin, an author on the 2016 study that exposed the problem. “When the water reaches these wastes and gets to the coast, then we’ve got a big problem.”

Movies Denmark Summons US Over Greenland SPYING-Trump Wants to RIP The Land of Resources

Danish King Changes Coat of Arms Amid Row With TRUMP Over Greenland

Design shows intent to keep control of Faroe Islands and Greenland which Trump says he wants to buy


The Guardian 7 JAN 2025







The new design features a large polar bear and ram, representing Greenland and the Faroes. Composite: Kongehuset.dk






The Danish king has surprised some historians by changing the royal coat of arms to more prominently feature Greenland and the Faroe Islands in what has been seen as a rebuke to FEEBLE Trump






This is OUR LAND





Less than a year since succeeding his mother, Queen Margrethe, after she stood down, King Frederik has made a clear statement of intent to keep the autonomous Danish territory and former colony within the kingdom of Denmark.



For 500 years, previous Danish royal coats of arms have featured three crowns, the symbol of the Kalmar Union between Denmark, Norway and Sweden, which was led from Denmark between 1397 and 1523. They are also an important symbol of its neighbour Sweden.

But in the updated version, the crowns have been removed and replaced with a more prominent polar bear and ram than previously, to symbolise Greenland and the Faroe Islands respectively.

The move comes at a time of increased tension over Greenland and its relations with Denmark, which continues to control its foreign and security policy.

Trump last month said again that he wants the US to buy Greenland, and the Greenlandic prime minister, Mte Egede, recently accused Denmark of genocide in response to investigations of the forced contraceptive scandal of the 1960s and 70s. In Egedes own new years address he accelerated calls for Greenlandic independence and called for the shackles of the colonial era to be removed.

Trumps son, Donald Trump Jr, was expected to visit Greenland on Tuesday, a local government official told Reuters, adding that it was a private visit and that he would be recording material for a podcast and would NOT meet with any local officials.

Trump Sr later confirmed the trip was taking place in a post on his Truth Social website, without mentioning a date. He added:


'Greenland is an incredible place, and the people will benefit tremendously if, and when, it becomes part of our Nation. We will protect it, and cherish it, from a very vicious outside World. MAKE GREENLAND GREAT AGAIN'


The royal household said the coat of arms, which is used on official documents and seals and elements of which date back to the 12th century, strengthens the prominence of the commonwealth. The three crowns, it said, had been removed as it is no longer relevant.

The changes, it said, were made after a recommendation from a committee that was appointed straight after his accession on 14 January 2024.



Last week, in his first new year speech, the king said:

We are all united and each of us committed for the kingdom of Denmark. From the Danish minority in South Schleswig which is even situated outside the kingdom and all the way to Greenland.





We belong together

TRUMP Refuses to Rule Out Using Military to Take Panama Canal and Greenland By FORCE

TRUMP Supports Russian Stance Against Ukraine Joining Nato -Says He Understands Moscows Feelings About Having Somebody Like That Right On Their Doorstep


What a Horrible Place TRUMP Attacks America in Rambling Speech. Can You Believe This? What a Place. Trump Said About the United States.


The Guardian 8 JAN 2025





A Ukraine army chaplain conducting a holiday service to celebrate Epiphany in an undisclosed location in the Dnipropetrovsk region of Ukraine on 6 January.





UNHINGED Trump lobs threats at Greenland, Panama and Canada should we take him seriously?


Trump is refusing to rule out using American military force to retake control of the Panama Canal and seize Greenland, citing economic security as a driving factor.


Speaking at a Tuesday press conference at Mar-a-Lago, the incoming US president explicitly declined to give assurances against using military or economic coercion when pressed about his plans regarding Panama and Greenland.

I cant assure you on either of those two, Trump said in response to a reporters question. But I can say this, we need them for economic security.

The remarks came during a rambling UNHINGED session with journalists at his Florida resort home and will probably set off diplomatic alarm bells around the world as Trump prepares to return to the White House later this month with an agenda of muscular American nationalism.

Trump claimed the Panama Canal, which was transferred to Panamanian control in 1999 under a 1977 treaty, was being operated by China, an assertion that comes amid his repeated calls for the strategic waterway to be returned to US control.

The Panama Canal was built for our military, Trump said. Look, the Panama Canal is vital to our country. Its being operated by China. China! And we gave the Panama Canal to Panama, we didnt give it to China.

When it came to Greenland, Trump threatened economic retaliation against Denmark, noting that if that country resisted his territorial ambitions he would tariff Denmark at a very high level

His tough talk also extended due north, as he reiterated his interest in using economic force to make Canada into a US state and criticized US military support for one of its closest allies.

Canadas prime minister, Justin Trudeau, rejected Trumps comments, saying: There isnt a snowballs chance in hell that Canada would become part of the United States.

Trump was speaking as his son, Donald Trump Jr, touched down in Greenlands capital, Nuuk, where he reportedly distributed Make Greenland Great Again hats despite claiming to be visiting purely as a tourist.

His comments are sparking particular concern given the United States history of military intervention in Panama.

In December 1989, the US launched Operation Just Cause, deploying 9,000 troops to join 12,000 US military personnel already in the country to overthrow the Panamanian military dictator Manuel Noriega.

The invasion, which resulted in the deaths of 23 US service members and an estimated 500 Panamanian civilians, was condemned by the Organization of American States and the European Parliament as a violation of international law. It also resulted in the removal of Noriega, who would later be sentenced on drug-trafficking charges to 40 years in US prison.

Trump has simultaneously ramped up pressure on other territories, suggesting Canada could become the 51st state and mockingly referring to the exiting prime minister, Justin Trudeau, as governor

Panamas president, Jos Ral Mulino, rejected Trumps demands, declaring that every square metre of the canal would remain under Panamanian sovereignty.




His tough talk also extended to changing the GULF of MEXICOs name to GULF of AMERICA

EU WARNS TRUMP on Use of Force in Greenland -NO WAY Union Would Let Him Attack Sovereign Borders





Donald Trump Jr visited Greenland on Tuesday.


OSLO - European nations have voiced opposition to remarks made by US President-elect Donald Trump regarding the potential use of military force to seize control of Greenland, reigniting tensions over his previous interest in the autonomous Danish territory


In a press conference on Tuesday, Trump said he would not rule out the possibility of military action in Greenland and the Panama Canal. This prompted swift reactions from European leaders, emphasizing the sanctity of sovereignty and international law.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said that the inviolability of borders is a fundamental principle of international law, which applies to every country, regardless of its size or power. He said that in discussions with European partners, there was a lack of understanding regarding recent statements from the United States.

Frances Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot warned of the resurgence of might makes right policies, calling on Europe to bolster its strength. Speaking to France Inter radio, Barrot noted that Greenland is a territory of the European Union and of Europe

In Poland, Deputy Foreign Minister Andrzej Szejna described Trumps rhetoric as part of a post-campaign rush, urging restraint until his inauguration on 20 Jan.

Trouw, a Dutch newspaper, warned of potential North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) complications if the US pursued military action against Denmark, a fellow member of the military alliance.

Slovak media Dennik N described Trumps statement that 'nobody knows whether Denmark has the right to Greenland' as untrue, adding that Greenland has significant autonomy, but it is part of Denmark, which is an ally in NATO.

Greenland has made it clear that it is not for sale. Greenland, an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark, gained home rule in 1979 and expanded self-government in 2009.

Greenlands Prime Minister Mute Egede echoed these sentiments. Greenland belongs to Greenlanders.

TRUMP Had Previously Threatened to Use US Military Force to Take Over

EUROPE Has WARNED TRUMP Against Use of Force Over Greenland-NO WAY Would The EU Let Other Nations, Whoever They Are, Attack Its Sovereign Borders


The Guardian 26 JAN 2025






Trump had a fiery nasty phone call with Danish prime minister Mette Frederiksen over his demands to buy Greenland, according to senior European officials.




Speaking to the Financial Times, officials said that Trump, then still president-elect, spoke with Frederiksen for 45 minutes last week, during which he was described to be aggressive and confrontational about Frederiksens refusal to sell Greenland to the US.

The Financial Times reports that according to five current and former senior European officials who were briefed on the call, the conversation was horrendous. One person said: He was very firm. It was a cold shower. Before, it was hard to take it seriously. But I do think it is serious and potentially very dangerous.

Another person who was briefed on the call told the outlet: The intent was very clear. They want it. The Danes are utterly freaked out by this

According to one former Danish official, the call was a very tough conversation in which Trump threatened specific measures against Denmark

Trump said that the US needs to control Greenland and has refused to rule out using US military force to take over the territory. During a press conference a few weeks ago, Trump said that the US needed Greenland for economic security.


The 836,300-sq-mile (2,166,007-sq-km) Arctic island is rich in oil and gas, as well as various raw materials for green technology.

Sorry, TRUMP: A HISTORICAL Pact Says Britain Has FIRST Dibs on Greenland

TRUMP is said to be raging at Denmark for the right to buy the strategic Arctic island. But a century-old document stands in his way....Trump needs permission from a third country - Britain - if he is to fulfill his pledge to take it over


Telegraph 27 JAN 2025





Britain would have the right to buy Greenland BEFORE the US, the islands last Danish minister said.






If Denmark does decide to sell Greenland, Britain will have the right to buy the island first. This statement was made on 26 January by the Danish ex-Minister for Greenland Tom Heim.





The politician explained that it was Britain that, back in 1917, demanded the right under which it could be the first to acquire the island in the event of a decision to sell it.

If Trump tried to buy Greenland, he would have to ask London about it first, Heim is quoted as saying in an article in The Sunday Times newspaper.

He stressed that the commitment of 1917, when the United States first made a preliminary attempt to purchase Greenland, still remains in force. This, as Heim noted, secures the Danish Crowns rights to the island.

According to the former Danish Minister for Greenland, former American leader Woodrow Wilson, who served as president of the United States from 1913 to 1921, subsequently agreed that Greenland belongs to Denmark and always will be.

According to an Epinion survey, only 3% of Danes support joining the island to the United States.

Greenland became a colony of Denmark in 1814, and officially became part of the kingdom in 1953. Today, the island is an autonomous territory of Denmark....

US DEBT AT THE MOMENT....

So TRUMP, where will the money come from to buy Greenland...

Thumbs down TRUMP Wants Military Plans to SEIZE Panama Canal By FORCE

TRUMP Asks Military For Plans to SEIZE Panama Canal By FORCE

Donald Trumps White House has reportedly asked the United States military to draw up plans to a military operation to retake the Panama Canal.

MSNRAW 14 MAR 2025






According to News sources, U.S. Southern Command is developing potential plans that vary from partnering more closely with the Panamanian military to the less likely option of U.S. troops seizing the Panama Canal by force.


According to NBC force would be used to retake the Panama Canal if the Panamanian military does not cooperate with the United States to a satisfactory extent.

The Trump administrations goal is to increase the U.S. military presence in Panama to diminish Chinas influence there, particularly access to the canal News' sources contend.

The sources also emphasized that a U.S. invasion of Panama is unlikely and would only come under serious consideration if a larger American military presence in Panama does not achieve President Donald Trumps goal of reclaiming the waterway

TRUMP Gets UNEXPECTED SURPRISE From Greenland -NO WAY Will a TYRANT Take Our Island

Greenlands Election Winners Push Back AGAINST TRUMPs Wish to Take Control of The Island, as Trump Announces Decisive Military Action Abroad - ''We WILL Use Overwhelming Lethal Force''

EUROPE WARNS TRUMP Against Use of Force Over Greenland

The Guardian 16 MAR 2025





Chairman of Demokraatit, Jens-Frederik Nielsen center, hugs supporters during the election party at Demokraatit by cafe Killut in Nuuk, Wednesday, 12 March 2025.

NUUK, Greenland AP Greenlands likely new prime minister on Wednesday rejected Trumps effort to take control of the island, saying Greenlanders must be allowed to decide their own future as it moves toward independence from Denmark.



Jens-Frederik Nielsens Demokraatit, a pro-business party that favours a slow path to independence, won a surprise victory in Tuesdays parliamentary election, outpacing the two left leaning parties that formed the last government.

With most Greenlanders opposing Trumps overtures, the campaign focused more on issues like healthcare and education than on geopolitics.

But on Wednesday Nielsen was quick to push back against Trump, who last week told a joint session of Congress that the U.S. needed Greenland to protect its own national security interests and he expected to get it ?one way or the other.


'''We dont want to be Americans. No, we dont want to be Danes. We want to be Greenlanders, and we want our own independence in the future, Nielsen, 33 told Britains Sky News. And we want to build our own country by ourselves.'''


That didnt stop Trump from suggesting during a Thursday Oval Office meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte that Greenlands election that it was very good for us and the person who did the best is a very good person, as far as WE are concerned.

Moving Toward Independence From Denmark


Greenland, a self-governing region of Denmark, has been on a path toward independence since at least 2009, when the government in Copenhagen recognized its right to self determination under international law. Four of the five main parties in the election supported independence, though they disagreed on when and how to achieve it.

The island of 56,000 people, most from Indigenous Inuit backgrounds, has attracted international attention since Trump announced his designs on it soon after returning to the White House in January.

Trump is focused on Greenland because it straddles strategic air and sea routes in the North Atlantic and is home to the US Pituffik Space Base, which supports missile warning and space surveillance operations.


Greenland also has large deposits of the rare earth minerals, which TRUMP wants, needed to make everything from mobile phones to renewable energy technology.


Trump said U.S. control of Greenland could be important for national security reasons and even suggested NATO should be involved, but Rutte demurred. Trump nonetheless noted that the U.S. already has a considerable military presence in Greenland and added, '''Maybe you'll see more and more soldiers going there'''

Trump said during the meeting with Rutte that Denmarks very far away from Greenland and questioned whether that country still had a right to claim the worlds largest island as part of its kingdom.


'''A boat landed there 200 years ago or something. And they say they have rights to it, Trump said. I dont think thats true'''





IT IS TRUE SO STOP SULKING Trumpy....

Greenland has been a part of Denmark for around 300 years, and there have long been tensions between the island and the Nordic nation.

Movies Denmark Summons US Over Greenland SPYING-Trump Wants to RIP The Land of Resources

Denmark to Summon US Envoy Over Greenland SPYING Directive - Trump Says US Needs Greenland For Security

CIA, NSA and Defense Intelligence Agency ALL Included in Collection Emphasis Message

US Spying on Greenland to RIP Land of Resources Under False Pretences


The Guardian 8 MAY 2025




Denmark has said that it will summon the US ambassador to Copenhagen to respond to reports that US intelligence agencies have been ordered to increase espionage in Greenland.





The Danish foreign minister, Lars L?kke Rasmussen, said on Wednesday that he was concerned about the report in the Wall Street Journal, telling the Ritzau news agency: It worries me a lot, because we dont spy between friends.



Speaking on his way to a meeting in Warsaw, he added: I cant know if its true because its in a newspaper. But it doesnt seem to be strongly rejected by those who speak out. That worries me.





High ranking officials working under Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, issued the instruction to agency heads in a collection emphasis message, the Journal reported.




Such messages customarily help to set intelligence priorities and direct resources and attention to high interest targets.

The Central Intelligence Agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency were all included in the message. It told chiefs to study Greenlands independence movement and attitudes to American efforts to extract resources on the island, according to the Journal, citing two unnamed officials familiar with the matter.

Seasoned intelligence operatives say the Arctic island of about 56,000 inhabitants has not historically been a target of US espionage activity.


The move will further alarm Denmark, a US ally and NATO member, which has repeatedly vowed that the island is not available for sale or annexation. The country is planning to spend $1.5BIL to protect Greenland from
Trump, which has autonomous status under Denmarks constitutional monarchy.


Trump, who has mused since his first presidency about the possibility of possessing Greenland, refused to rule out seizing the 836,000 sq mile territory by force in an interview with NBC that was broadcast last weekend.

I dont say Im going to do it, but I dont rule out anything, he said. We need Greenland very badly. Greenland is a very small amount of people, which we'll take care of, and we'll cherish them, and all of that. But we need that for international security.





The comments renewed a vow the unhinged president made in an address to a joint session of Congress in March, when he said:



'One way or the other, we?re going to get it'

Angry Hegseth Has Taken Action to ENSURE US 'Homeland' Now Includes Greenland

US 'Homeland' Now Includes Greenland After Major Shakeup by Pentagon

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has taken action to have Greenland declared part of the U.S. homeland to be defended by 'Greenlands' American forces, according to a report in Military Times.


The Guardian 18 JUN 2025







The Pentagon announced Tuesday that it was shifting responsibility for Greenland from European Command to U.S. Northern Command



With the Department of Defense framing the revision as part of a broader review of its Unified Command Plan, which divides the world into separate military units and outlines the roles and responsibilities of U.S. combatant commands, Military Times reported.

The U.S. run Pituffik Space Base in northwestern Greenland is one of the most strategically important military sites in the world

Since retaking office in January, Trump has repeatedly threatened to annex the Danish territory in the name of national security.




One way or the other, we are going to get it, Trump said of Greenland


In a statement, a Pentagon spokesperson claimed, This change will strengthen the Joint Forces ability to defend the homeland, contributing to a more robust defense of the western hemisphere and deepening relationships with Arctic allies and partners ...

Thumbs Up Denmark Boosts Greenland Military by $2BIL To STOP Trump Taking Island

Denmark Boosts Greenland Military Presence Amid ARROGANT Trumps Quest To Obtain Island

Denmark Holds Military Exercises in Greenland Amid Trumps Interest


The $2BIL effort aims to purchase three new Arctic patrol boats, two new long range drones and additional maritime patrol aircraft.


REUTERS 28 JUN 2025






EUROPE WARNS TRUMP Against Use of Force Over Greenland





Faced with increasing pressure from Trump to hand over the strategically important island of Greenland to the U.S Denmark has announced plans to beef up its military presence there.



Key to the $2BIL effort is the purchase of three new Arctic patrol boats, two long range drones, and an unspecified number of new maritime patrol aircraft.

These looming acquisitions are meant to replace worn out equipment and provide additional surveillance and sensing capabilities over and around one of the worlds largest islands. The plan was announced as Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark, is at the center of an increasingly strategic race to expand control and military influence across the Arctic region.

The U.S China, and Russia are all vying for the regions military, geostrategic, and economic benefits, and the island is already home to one of the U.S militarys most strategically important outposts.

We are facing serious security policy challenges, Danish Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen said in a statement on Monday. The Danish Defense Intelligence Service assesses that the threat level in the Arctic and the North Atlantic has worsened. Therefore, we must significantly strengthen the Danish Defense presence in the regions.


This new procurement program is part of a broader security pact between Denmark, the Faroe Islands and Greenland. These governments seek to increase their ability to patrol and gain situational awareness over a 660,000 square mile landmass with about 27,000 miles of coastline.


In addition to the ships and aircraft, Denmark has a dozen dog sled teams to monitor an area three times the size of Texas.

Thumbs Up Trumps Plan to Bully Greenland to Steal Precious Minerals Backfires

Trumps Plan to Bully Greenland For Game Changing Minerals Backfired

Top Greenland Officials BRUTAL Move to Stop Trumps Aggressive Plans

Trump Had Planned Military Action to Take Control of Greenland


The Guardian 29 JUL 2025






Donald Trumps plan to bully another country into giving up its rare earth minerals appears to have backfired, One mine is said to have enough minerals to operate for 1,000 years





Trumps previous statements about controlling Greenland for national security seem to have been part of a larger plot to get favoured access to the countrys rare earth minerals.


Greenland has two thirds of the minerals most crucial to the United States, which are used by technology companies to build their products, according to the report.

Tony Sage, who owns the professional soccer team in Perth, Australia, told The Post that the mine is a game changing rare earth mine for the West.

To that end, the Trump administration sent a letter of interest to another local mining company offering a $120 million loan to help expand their operations.

However, that plan appears to have backfired as Greenland officials say the countrys mining industry doesnt need to grow that quickly.

We dont need to be the greatest mining country in the world, Naaja Nathanielsen, Greenlands mining minister, told The Post. To run a small country and a small economy like ours, we need a good stable income over time that benefits the people and protects the environment.




Instead, Nathanielsen seems to want a much smaller industry to develop across the country

I do think in 20 years we will have six or seven active mines at any one time, a mix of smaller and bigger mines, Nathanielsen said.

Thumbs down Desperate Trump Takes Fresh Measures For Bid to Control Greenland

Trump Takes Fresh Measures in Desperate For US to Control Greenland

Donald Trump has long wanted to take over Greenland, which is an autonomous territory in the Kingdom of Denmark, but his plans have sparked fury


MailOnline 22 DEC 2025




Bully Trump has taken fresh steps in his desperate bid to take control of Greenland.


He has long insisted the move would help boost international security and, in March, he suggested it would be a simple process for his nation to acquire the territory. However, Mr Trump has since faced a fierce attack from Greenland with its defiant Prime Minister blasting the world leader for his bulling tactics.

Yet now, Mr Trump, 79, has appointed Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry to serve as the US *special envoy to Greenland, a measure he believes will represent a huge advance in securing the island. Mr Trump said today: Jeff understands how essential Greenland is to our national security, and will strongly advance our countrys Interests for the safety, security, and survival of our allies, and indeed, the world.





Mr Landry took office as governor in January 2024. His term ends in January 2028. Describing to his new appointment an honour, he expressed his pride on social media.


But Greenland, with less than 60,000 residents, is an autonomous territory in the Kingdom of Denmark and holds strategic importance for the Kingdom of Denmark, NATO, and the EU. It is a socially progressive island, where like in Denmark, education and healthcare are free and the island is rich in minerals.





Days after becoming Prime Minister in the spring, former scientist Jens-Frederik Nielsen, said Trump says that the United States will get Greenland,,,

Let me be clear The United States will not get it. We do not belong to anyone else. We decide our own future
