US EditionWho Could Trump Invade? Fears over President’s Plans for Greenland, Cuba and Colombia

- On Sunday, President Donald Trump renewed calls for U.S. control of Greenland and threatened military action against Colombia, escalating tensions across the Western Hemisphere.

- A social-media post by Katie Miller provoked Greenlanders and prompted Ambassador Jesper Møller Sørensen to demand respect for Denmark's territorial integrity, while Mette Frederiksen urged the U.S. to stop threats and European leaders insisted Greenland's future must be decided by its people on Tuesday.

- French foreign minister Jean-Noël Barrot signaled European concern Wednesday, as Marco Rubio, Secretary of State, told lawmakers Tuesday that the U.S. intends to buy Greenland and reassured France about its security.
