  • President Trump demanded the `complete and total purchase of Greenland` and wielded the threat of economic warfare to pressure European nations amid mineral-rich interests of Trump donors and allies.
  • Germany, Sweden, France, Norway, the Netherlands and Finland sent troops to Greenland, joining the Royal Danish Army in multinational exercises called Operation Arctic Endurance.
  • Posting screenshots, US President Donald Trump amplified diplomatic tensions by showing texts he said came from French President Emmanuel Macron and NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte and agreed to a meeting in Davos, Switzerland.
