The truth is:

We need Greenland for national security, not for minerals ...

Where national security is stronger threats against Europe by the US.

There has never been a Chinese/Russian ship off the coast of Greenland without permission to deliver goods to North America. China and Russia do use ships in Russia's arctic waters, and there is some Chinese aided projects in developing Russia's north.

Everyone (including Canadians) who ever tells you Russia and China are coming to invade or take resources from Canada or Greenland is a warmongering liar US agent.

Latest Trump rhetoric keeps "Only the US, not NATO, can defend Greenland from Russia and China". Again, those nations have zero use for Greenland resource contention, or for shipping anything anywhere that doesn't request shipping to them. Look at a fucking globle to debunk this BS.

    Refuse him entry and make him Trump's special envoy to (or rather, in) the Atlantic ocean.

    [Edit] Also, does the governor of a whole ass state not have, like, work to do? How do you all feel about this, Louisiana?

    He should resign as governor because I guarantee he does not have time to do both jobs at the same time.

    That said, Trump received 60.22% of the popular vote in Louisiana in 2024 so I'm gonna guess they're fine with it. Republican voters are usually fine with their politicians doing nothing to improve society. In fact, that's kind of a selling point.

    I always find this odd in the UK. Our Prime Minister must also be a Member of Parliament which means that they “look after” the political interests of a constituency. Are they not too busy leading the country to do that second job?

    Same with all the other MPs in government and the Speaker of the House. Aren’t they all too busy to have a second job?

    Grow some national pride and tell them to fuck off. If they land the plane anyway, imprison all of them on terrorist charges. Stand up to fascism or kneel to it.

    Denmark fumes about this. It has been breaking news all day and has received massive support from most major EU leaders

    As someone from Louisiana, anything that keeps Landry from doing anything else in Louisiana is a win for the state. Sorry, Greenland

    You can take out the executive branch and about half of the scotus and no one who lives here would actually care

    In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote: "Jeff understands how essential Greenland is to our National Security, and will strongly advance our Country's Interests for the Safety, Security, and Survival of our Allies, and indeed, the World."

    You know what else really helps national security? Not claiming another countries land as your own.

    Deny him entry. He had obvious hostile intentions.
