Trump aide Stephen Miller says US could seize Greenland

Source: USA Today

Updated Jan. 6, 2026, 1:07 p.m. ET


One of President Donald Trump's closest aides, Stephen Miller, questioned Denmark's claim on Greenland and suggested the U.S. could seize it without pushback, stoking concern among European allies.

Speaking to CNN's Jake Tapper, Miller sidestepped questions of whether the U.S. will use military force to take Greenland, a territory of Denmark, and said the president has been "clear for months" that the U.S. should have it.

“Nobody’s going to fight the United States militarily over the future of Greenland,” Miller said in the Jan. 5 interview.

Miller also questioned Denmark's control over the resource-rich territory. "It wouldn't be military action against Greenland. Greenland has a population of 30,000 people, Jake," Miller said. "The real question is, by what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland?"

By what right does the US assert control over Puerto Rico, Guam, the US Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands?

They're territories as recognized under international law, asshole. And Denmark has had Greenland for longer than the US has existed.

Miller thinks the NAZI horde will give him a pass as a white guy. Won't he be surprised.

Of course Ralph wore prosthetics and makeup for his portrayal of Lord Voldermort. Miller looks that way naturally (I think). 😉

I just want to read more about this. If you have any suggestions. This regime is frightening and I find myself trying to get to the underlying reasoning/plan behind the madness.
Thanks

so they don't have to release any more Epstein files. I swear these douchebags would invade Canada if they thought it would distract from their other crimes.
