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.

      They didn’t add any nuance and they doubled down, why would I think more or less than what is said.

      Ed: >Anyone who didn’t vote is especially responsible.

      Fucking dumbasses that they are.

      Where’s the exception, where’s the nuance? Oh then maybe be like oh shit sorry I could be more clear, instead of “that’s not what I said” which is factually incorrect.

        The irony of someone asking where the nuance is and immediately diving for the worst possible interpretation is truly amazing 😂😂😂

        I can only assume you didn’t vote and feel guilty due to your need to deflect.

          That’s not irony boss.

          Ed: also we’ve went over this already but you’re either too dumb to remember or conveniently forgetting. I’m a disenfranchised voter and you’re just a bigot.

          “yeah man where is the nuance, fucking dumbass.”

          You’re really not digging yourself out of the bigoted asshole rut you’ve dug yourself.
