President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to post an image of him planting an American flag on Greenland.
Talks on the subject are to take place this week in Davos, Switzerland.
The illustration shows Trump sticking the flag into Greenland as Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio stand behind Trump, Newsmax reported.
A wooden sign reads “Greenland – U.S. territory established 2026.”
Trump has threatened to escalate 10% to 25% in tariffs with NATO, the European Union, and Denmark, who are all against the U.S. annexing Greenland.
The theory behind the annexation is so American influence and military power can secure Greenland from potential Russian or Chinese aggression.
The Danish intelligence services warned last year that the No. 1 threat to Greenland’s security is Russia and China.
Trump is acting on that intelligence with a solution to secure the strategic territory permanently under American leadership, retired Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer told Newsmax’s “Wake Up America” Tuesday morning.
Greenland is under Denmark’s home rule. However, Trump and U.S. Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker have stated Denmark cannot adequately defend the island.
“And Trump’s not saying that, Danish intelligence is,” Shaffer said.
Talks will be held on the future of Greenland at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
In another post on Truth Social, Trump said the discussions would involve “various parties.” He reiterated his view that Greenland is “imperative for national and world security.
“There can be no going back,” Trump said.
