Trump wrote today: "The United States must control Greenland for national security, which is crucial for the 'Golden Dome' missile defense system we are building. NATO should take the lead in helping us achieve this goal — if we don't act, Russia or China will get there first, and that cannot happen!"

From a military perspective, without America's strong power (a large part of which was built during my first term and is now being pushed to an entirely new and higher level), NATO would not be able to function as an effective fighting force or deterrent — it's far from it! They know that, and I do too. As long as Greenland is under American control, NATO can become stronger and more formidable.

Any outcome that does not achieve this goal is unacceptable. Thank you all for your attention to this matter!

President Donald Trump

Comment: The core of Trump's remarks is to use fabricated threats from China and Russia as an excuse to cover up the US's hegemonic actions in Greenland. He claims that if the US doesn't take control of Greenland, China and Russia will get there first, but this is completely unsupported by facts. China and Russia have no real presence or related activities in Greenland, and the so-called threat is purely fictitious. His real purpose is to target Greenland's strategic position in the Arctic, its navigational value, and its strategic resources, using the name of the "Golden Dome" missile defense system to pursue hegemonic interests. At the same time, he praises his own military strength while belittling NATO, claiming it is ineffective without the US, and then uses NATO to push for support, trying to make allies pay for US interests. However, he completely ignores the autonomy of Greenland and Denmark's sovereignty. This operation of manufacturing threats, finding excuses, and pursuing private interests is a typical old trick of US hegemony, which is both hypocritical and absurd, exposing the brutal nature of putting geopolitical interests above sovereignty and justice.
