BREAKING: Denmark’s ambassador to the United States, Jesper Moeller Soerensen, has issued a stern warning to former President Donald Trump following alarming comments about potential military actions against Greenland. This urgent statement comes after Trump’s administration made headlines with a shocking military operation in Venezuela that resulted in the abduction of President Nicolás Maduro.
In a provocative social media post, Trump ally Katie Miller hinted at Greenland being the next target, sharing an image of the territory with a U.S. flag and the word “SOON” in all caps. Soerensen’s response was swift and forceful, garnering over 7.8 million views as he emphasized the strong alliance between the U.S. and Denmark. “US security is also Greenland’s and Denmark’s security,” he stated, reaffirming that Greenland is part of NATO.
Soerensen highlighted Denmark’s significant commitment to Arctic security, noting an investment of USD 13.7 billion for 2025 that aims to bolster defenses in the region. He concluded his message with a clear demand for respect towards Denmark’s territorial integrity, stating, “And yes, we expect full respect for the territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Denmark.”
Trump has previously expressed interest in Greenland, suggesting he may not rule out military force to secure the mineral-rich territory. “I never take military force off the table,” Trump told Meet the Press in March, indicating that he believes a peaceful acquisition is still possible.
As tensions rise, Trump’s recent comments on the U.S. operation in Venezuela suggest a broader military agenda. During an appearance on Fox & Friends, he hinted at potential actions against Colombia and its president, Gustavo Petro, while also threatening Mexico over drug cartel claims. “Something’s going to have to be done with Mexico,” Trump declared, indicating a willingness to escalate military rhetoric.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio added to the tension during a late-morning press conference on Saturday, singling out Cuba as another country to be wary of, citing its alleged involvement in Venezuela’s crises. “If I lived in Havana and I was in the government, I’d be concerned at least a little bit,” he noted.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has previously condemned Trump’s aspirations regarding Greenland, emphasizing that Denmark will firmly oppose any attempts at territorial seizure. In her New Year’s speech, she stated, “We will stand firm on what is right and wrong,” reinforcing Denmark’s stance against what she termed as “threats” from their closest ally.
The situation remains fluid as Denmark continues to assert its sovereignty over Greenland, while Trump and his administration signal a willingness to pursue aggressive strategies in the region. The repercussions of these developments could significantly impact U.S.-Denmark relations, as well as broader geopolitical stability in the Arctic.
As this situation unfolds, all eyes are on the White House for further clarification on Miller’s alarming comments and the administration’s next steps.
