US President Donald Trump has reportedly instructed senior special forces commanders to prepare contingency plans for a possible invasion of Greenland, according to a Daily Mail report. The directive has triggered alarm inside the US military and among European allies.
🛑 Military Pushback
Sources say the proposal is facing resistance from the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who question both its legality and political feasibility. A diplomatic source described senior generals as trying to “deflect” the president, calling the plan “crazy and illegal.”
Instead, military leaders have reportedly attempted to redirect Trump’s focus toward less controversial actions, such as intercepting Russian “ghost ships” used to evade sanctions, or considering limited strikes on Iran.
🔥 Hawks Gain Influence
Hardline figures within Trump’s inner circle — led by adviser Stephen Miller — are said to be emboldened after the recent capture of Venezuela’s leader Nicolas Maduro. They are now pushing rapid action to secure Greenland before Russia or China expand their Arctic presence.
📊 Political Calculations
With US midterm elections approaching, diplomats believe Trump may seek a dramatic foreign policy move to divert attention from economic concerns and potential Republican losses in Congress.
🌐 NATO at Risk
European officials warn that any military move against Greenland could spark a major NATO crisis, possibly fracturing the alliance from within. Internal war-gaming reportedly outlines a worst-case scenario that could lead to NATO’s collapse.
❄️ Greenland Responds
Greenland’s political parties issued a joint statement rejecting US pressure:
“We don’t want to be Americans. We don’t want to be Danish. We want to be Greenlanders.”
They stressed that Greenland’s future must be decided by its own people.
🗣️ Trump’s Warning
Trump reiterated that the US would act “the easy way or the hard way” to prevent Russia or China from gaining control, insisting Washington will not accept Moscow or Beijing as Arctic neighbours.
🇩🇰 Denmark Pushes Back
Denmark has dismissed Trump’s claims as unacceptable and warned that its forces are prepared to defend Greenland if threatened
