Trump Faces Criticism Over Greenland Controversy

President-elect Donald Trump has raised international tensions by discussing the potential annexation of Greenland, a territory of Denmark, and has not ruled out using military force for this purpose. The Kremlin has responded, asserting that it is closely monitoring Trump's 'dramatic' rhetoric, while emphasizing the importance of the Arctic region to Russian interests. The Pentagon has categorically denied any plans for a military invasion of Greenland, stating it is focused on real national security concerns. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has reiterated that Greenland is not for sale and has received support from the local population against any U.S. acquisition attempts. France's foreign minister has also warned that any aggressive move against Greenland would be viewed as an attack on the EU, although he expressed doubt about the likelihood of an invasion. Tensions continue to escalate as Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr., recently visited Greenland, further fueling speculation about the administration's intentions regarding the territory.
