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.

    My reply was to the larger audience, not just you. I don’t disagree with your thinking. I’ve already stopped patronizing businesses that support trump and his corrupt leadership as well as signed up at generalstrikeus.com.

    However, we not only need to support each other internally like you mention, but we need support of our allies across the world to help continue spreading the Truth and support our journey to a better place.

    Shitting all over us as a whole is something that is more harmful than helpful, and it’s something that everyone should call out when they see it.

      Fair point.
