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.

        Everyone named plastic/ramses is a complete moron

        Well that’s great because my username isn’t that lol

        Also, only a complete moron would assume I’m blaming people who cannot vote because it is illegal.

        I’m blaming people like you, who would rather get bogged down in semantics than understand that Trump was much worse than whatever thing they blamed kamala for.

          You know what I meant and you’re not denying it.

          I’m glad we agree you’re a complete moron.

          I’m a disenfranchised felon dipshit, you’re tanking your argument with that alone.

          Ed: nice to know you jumped straight to assuming I didn’t vote and moreover that I didn’t do it for moral reasons thus pricing my point that you know no nuance you’re just a fuckin bigot.

              Yeah that’s not nuance that’s an idiot that doesn’t understand conversational logic.

              If I say assholes like you I’m also calling you an asshole.
