Yesterday, after Greenland’s prime minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, vowed to cast his lot with Denmark over the United States, Trump said that he didn’t “know anything about” Nielsen but that such a choice would be a “big problem for him.”

In an interview, GOP Rep. Don Bacon slammed the president's efforts to take over Greenland, warning it could lead to his impeachment.

A bipartisan coalition in Congress introduces a resolution rejecting Trump’s Greenland threats and reaffirming U.S. commitments to Denmark, Greenland, and NATO allies.

The estimate is part of planning around Trump’s efforts to bring Greenland into the U.S. fold, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio tasked with crafting a proposal to purchase the semi-autonomous Danish territory.

As NATO prepares for war games around Greenland, Russia is highlighting the Trump administration's disagreement with its closest allies over the island.

Russia said on Thursday that its was unacceptable for the West to keep claiming that Russia and China threatened Greenland, and said the crisis over the territory showed the double-standards of Western powers which claimed moral superiority.

The overtures from Trump officials toward Greenland aren't new, but the administration appears unwilling to back down in talks.
