So we have NO claim to Greenland, period. Trump had better not order our young men and women to take up arms against Denmark and Greenland. I am sick of Trump spouting this nonsense. He's trying to distract everyone from his 2 month old administration's screw-ups! The Greenlanders are NEVER going to accept a deal to belong to the US. We saw what they did to Vance and his wife. I wouldn't be surprised if they kick out our base!
