Donald Trump isn’t mincing words: U.S. acquisition of Greenland would catapult NATO to unprecedented strength. Posting on Truth Social, the president framed it as a security imperative, spotlighting the ‘Golden Dome’ project and urging NATO support to preempt Russian or Chinese moves.
‘Our massive military, rebuilt and upgraded under me, demands Greenland. Without it, NATO can’t compete,’ Trump stated. He dismissed lesser outcomes, insisting American stewardship alone ensures the alliance’s dominance.
Denmark-U.S. relations strain under this pressure, echoing Trump’s prior acquisition overtures. Beyond resources, Greenland offers prime positioning in a warming Arctic, vital for surveillance and defense.
Trump celebrated Venezuela operations as a parallel victory. At the Detroit Economic Club, he revealed seizing $5 billion in oil—50 million barrels—slated for U.S. refineries. ‘We’ll deploy 50 giant tankers, each carrying a million barrels. Gas is dropping fast—$2.50 or less across states, heading lower,’ he said, attributing early-month gains to the bold strike.
Fuel price relief bolsters Trump’s image as economic warrior, intertwining it with strategic gambits like Greenland. While allies grapple with the proposal, proponents see it as forward-thinking defense. Outcomes could solidify or splinter NATO amid global shifts.
