US President Donald Trump said the US is considering using its military to acquire Greenland, a move that has sparked concern among NATO allies. The announcement comes after Trump claimed that the interim authorities in Venezuela have agreed to let him sell 30-50 million barrels of their oil. However, Venezuelan acting president Delcy Rodríguez hardened her tone against the US on Tuesday, saying no external agent governs Venezuela.
The move has been condemned by various politicians and international leaders. Senator Ruben Gallego, a Democrat from Arizona, called Trump's threat to invade Greenland "INSANE" and is pushing for Congress to block the invasion. The Democratic vice-chair of the Senate intelligence committee, Mark Warner, also urged his Republican colleagues to take Trump's threats seriously.
Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has expressed concerns over Trump's actions, saying that the security of Greenland is a matter for Denmark and its people. "The future of Greenland and Denmark must be decided solely by the people of Denmark and Greenland," Trudeau said in a statement.
The US President made the announcement during a press conference in Paris, where he also discussed his administration's commitment to defending Ukraine. However, Democratic lawmakers have expressed skepticism about Trump's claims, saying that they heard nothing to dispel their concerns about the administration's regime change efforts in Venezuela.
Trump's actions have sparked outrage among many who see them as an attempt to expand US influence and control over international territories. The move has also raised questions about the role of the US military in Greenland and the implications for NATO relations.
As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how Trump's administration will proceed with its plans to acquire Greenland. However, one thing is clear: the move has sparked a significant reaction from international leaders and politicians who are watching closely to see how this plays out.

i'm low-key concerned tho, what if it happens? 
wouldn't that be wild? canada's just saying "hey no thanks" tho, Trudeau's got a point, it's Denmark's decision whether they want america or not 
mark warner's all about it too, needs to take trump seriously. this whole thing is just so sus rn, what's going on with venezuela oil 
and who knows how this will play out? nato is gonna have some major drama to deal with if trump really tries to invade 
. I mean, what is Trump even thinking? Like, do we really need to invade another country just to expand our influence? It's just not worth it, you know? And what's with the oil deal in Venezuela? Sounds like a total scam to me. Those interim authorities are probably being coerced into agreeing to something that doesn't benefit them at all.
. We need to stand up for our allies and against Trump's aggressive behavior. Can't believe we're even having this conversation 
.
. And what about Greenland's people? Have they even had a say in this whole situation? It's like Trump is ignoring international law and trying to impose his will on everyone else 
I'm all for defending Ukraine and whatnot, but this feels like a whole different ball game. Canada's got a point too, about Denmark and Greenland being their own thing... shouldn't we be respecting that kind of sovereignty? 
We need to keep an eye on this one, it could get messy 
. Acquiring Greenland? That's like buying a neighbor's house without even asking, you know? 
It just doesn't sit right with me. And what's the real reason behind this move? Is it really about getting those oil barrels or is there something more sinister at play? 
Denmark and Greenland have been happy with their independence, no need to rock the boat. And what about Canada, they're already speaking out against this... it's a mess, if you ask me 
I mean, what's next? Is he gonna try to muscle in on Canada too? 
Trump's got no business making deals in Venezuela without getting congressional approval first. And what about the oil? Is he just going to take it by force? That's not how you negotiate with another country, that's how you start a war.
Otherwise, we're gonna see a whole lot more of this kind of behavior... and it won't be pretty. 
i'm all about living in the present & focusing on my own well-being, not worrying about some leader's crazy ideas 
i mean, i get it, us wants more oil but come on man, you can't just take over someone else's territory like that. and what about denmark? don't they have a say in their own country?
