Trump's Greenland Takeover Plans Spark Controversy

President-elect Donald Trump's recent statements about potentially annexing Greenland and the Panama Canal have left both Republicans and Democrats bewildered. GOP senators, including Senate Majority Leader John Thune, expressed confusion over Trump's comments, while House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries criticized Trump for focusing on these territorial ambitions instead of pressing issues affecting American families. Trump's assertions that military force could be used to claim Greenland—a Danish territory—sparked outrage, with critics labeling his remarks as 'madness' and 'insane'. The European Green Party condemned Trump's imperialistic rhetoric, emphasizing that the future of Greenland should be determined by its people, not by U.S. ambitions. Meanwhile, the EU dismissed Trump's claims as 'wild hypothetical stuff' but affirmed its commitment to defending member states' sovereignty, including Denmark's rights over Greenland. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen reiterated that Greenland is not for sale, highlighting local support for its autonomy.
