Monday 19 Jun 2026 {HMC} Trump issued his tariff threat on Saturday – and late on Sunday in the US, he doubled-down on his threats to take over Greenland in a new Truth Social post.
Nato had been telling Denmark to “get the Russian threat away from Greenland” for 20 years, Trump writes.
“Denmark has been unable to do anything about it,” he continues. “Now it is time, and it will be done!!!”
The post comes after a long message on Saturday, when Trump said it was “time for Denmark to give back” now that “World Peace is at stake”.
On Denmark’s defence of Greenland, he said: “They currently have two dogsleds as protection, one added recently.”
Trump called for the “complete and total purchase” of Greenland, adding that Denmark’s supporters had created “a level of risk in play that is not tenable or sustainable”.
He concluded: “The United States of America is immediately open to negotiation with Denmark and/or any of these Countries that have put so much at risk, despite all that we have done for them, including maximum protection, over so many decades.”
