President Donald Trump said the U.S. will "go as far as we have to go" to get control of Greenland, ahead of a planned visit to the Arctic island by the vice president.

Summary

Trump stated the U.S. will “go as far as we have to go” to gain control of Greenland, citing national and international security needs.

JD Vance will visit Greenland’s Pituffik military base, scaling back a broader visit amid backlash from Greenland and Denmark.

Greenlandic Prime Minister Mute Egede condemned the move as “aggressive pressure” and insisted that “Greenland belongs to the Greenlanders.”

Trump has repeatedly expressed interest in acquiring Greenland, asserting that U.S. control is essential for security.

    We all knew where this was going.

    Those who didn’t vote based on some sort of moral principle were dumb enough to not realize they would make whatever those issues were 1000 times worse.

    Hope they’re happy with people being disappeared off the streets.

      Sure.

      Yeah that doesn’t magically make them not disenfranchised felons, voting would just be committing a fairly serious crime.

      That’s fucked up Nazi shit bud.
