    1. US President Donald Trump has reiterated his desire to acquire Canada and Greenland, stating „I think it will happen“ during a meeting with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte. Trump also expressed his grievances with Canadian trade and suggested that Canada should become the 51st US state, claiming that the border between the two countries is „an artificial line“ that „makes no sense“. Canadian officials, including incoming prime minister Mark Carney, have repeatedly stated that Canada will never become part of the US. The leader of Greenland, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, has also rejected Trump’s proposed takeover, saying „We don’t want to be Americans“ after his party won the country’s parliamentary elections.

      It is within the mandate of NATO to promote rule of law, but last thing Rutte should do is call out his employer in front of the camera.

      It’s important to understand that Trump literally believes he can make things happen by stating it and then repeating it over and over again until it becomes reality. He will therefore keep saying that Greenland and Canada should be part of the US, because then it will happen. It’s a kind of magical thinking that is not unique to Trump.

    4. WTH is going on with the world ? Where the hell is NATO in all this ? Is NATO just going to sit by and do nothing ?

      He wants the Northwest Passage but doesn’t know how to play and cooperate with others because he’s still stuck business world where it is all or done. If he’s concerned about Russian and Chinese presence in the Northwest Passage, let Canada, Denmark (Greenland), and United States have an open and honest discussion. What are you willing to do, what do you other nations to do. Canada has ice breakers, the Arctic strategy has been an election issue for several cycles now. Quit this nonsensical bullying tactic of annexation or we are going to isolate you further.
      Trump is trying to combine Manifest Destiny and the Monroe Doctrine to make North America the hegemony of the United States.
