Donald Trump said Friday his administration will take action on Greenland “whether they like it or not,” further escalating his rhetoric as he pushes to acquire the Danish territory for the U.S.
The comments came during a meeting with oil executives to discuss the prospect of doing business in Venezuela. Less than a week earlier, the U.S. military invaded the oil-rich South American nation and captured its leader, Nicolás Maduro.
Denmark and its European allies in NATO – the military alliance co-founded by the U.S. – have pushed back, reiterating that Greenland is not for sale. But the Trump administration nevertheless says it is currently weighing a range of options on Greenland, including utilizing the U.S. military or cutting a deal to purchase it from Denmark.
you can tell within the last few months he has been low on energy and he looks even more like hell. My grandmother passed away in 2008 from a series of multiple strokes with each one she became more and more slower than her brain slowly turned to mush, and she was unable to form a sentence and when she did, she was in her own little world. I see the same thing happening with Trump. Hopefully he is not much time left for him in this world. We can only hope.
