Trump’s Tyrannical Greenland Grab: Is This the New Hitler’s Imperial Delusion?

Copenhagen, January 4, 2026 – Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has issued a fierce condemnation of President Donald Trump’s repeated threats to seize Greenland, labeling them baseless, illegal, and tantamount to criminal coercion against a sovereign NATO partner.

In a statement that pulled no punches, Frederiksen asserted: “It makes absolutely no sense to talk about the U.S. needing to take over Greenland. The U.S. has no right to annex any of the three nations in the Danish Kingdom.” She demanded that Trump immediately halt what she described as dangerous threats that violate international law and undermine decades of alliance.

The prime minister’s outrage was sparked by Trump’s latest remarks in an interview with The Atlantic, where he declared that the United States “absolutely” requires control of Greenland for defense purposes and pointedly refused to exclude the use of force—especially alarming in the shadow of recent U.S. military intervention in Venezuela.

Adding fuel to the diplomatic fire, a social media post from Katie Miller, wife of senior Trump advisor Stephen Miller, showed Greenland superimposed with the American flag and captioned “SOON.” Greenlandic leaders denounced the image as a brazen display of imperial arrogance that flouts legal norms of territorial integrity.

Existing treaties already afford the United States extensive military access to Greenland, including the vital Pituffik Space Base. Denmark has further committed substantial resources to Arctic security, rendering any justification for illegal annexation not only unfounded but provocative.

Greenland’s 57,000 residents and their elected leaders have long insisted that their future lies in self-determination, not subjugation. Any attempt at forcible takeover would constitute a grave breach of the UN Charter and customary international law.

Trump’s rhetoric risks fracturing transatlantic unity and inviting global condemnation. Denmark stands firm: threats of illegal annexation will not be tolerated, and sovereignty remains inviolable.
