#Trump for months has insisted that the US should control #Greenland, a semiautonomous territory of #NATO ally #Denmark, and said earlier this week that anything less than the Arctic island being in U.S. hands would be “unacceptable.”

“I may put a tariff on countries if they don’t go along with Greenland,” he said Friday, without providing details. “We need Greenland for national security.”

It has virtually no chance of becoming #law because #Trump would have to sign it if it were to pass the #House, but it’s still a significant gesture that shows unease among some Republicans after the #US #military seized #Venezuela President #Maduro in a nighttime raid.

Following the #Venezuela raid, #Trump has voiced threats toward #Colombia & #Mexico, while resurfacing his desire to control #Greenland

“Colombia is very sick too, run by a sick man who likes making cocaine & selling it to the United States, & he’s not going to be doing it very long,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One.

The ship was sanctioned by the #US in 2024 for allegedly smuggling cargo for a company linked to Lebanese militant group #Hezbollah. The US #CoastGuard attempted to board it in the #Caribbean in December as it headed for #Venezuela, which the #Trump admin has placed under naval blockade [but they continue to claim it’s not a #war].

In a statement issued on Tuesday to the state news agency #Tass, the Russian Foreign Ministry said the vessel was operating in full compliance with international #MaritimeLaw, & said it was receiving increased attention from the US & #NATO “disproportionate to its peaceful status.”

The legality of the #US capture of #Maduro is the focus of a #UN #Security Council meeting.

US authorities claim the #DOJ sought #military assistance to apprehend Maduro.

He had been indicted by a NY grand jury along with his wife, son, 2 political leaders & an alleged leader of an international gang. They were charged with crimes related to terrorism, drugs & weapons.

However, at a press conference, #Trump blamed #Venezuela for “stealing” US #oil interests & said Washington would take them back & planned to run Venezuela for a period of time, without offering specifics.

Experts in #InternationalLaw said the Trump admin had muddled the #legal issues by claiming the operation was both a targeted law enforcement mission & the potential prelude to long-term control of Venezuela by the #US.

#Trump advisers also believe they may be able to work behind the scenes with #DelcyRodriguez, acc/to 3 people briefed on the #US strategy.

Trump said he wants Rodriguez to give the US & private companies "total access" to #Venezuela’s beleaguered #oil infrastructure, as well as roads & bridges that are in disrepair.

If she & the interim government do not cooperate, they could face a strong response.

"I just say that she will face a situation probably worse than Maduro," he threatened.

After removing #Maduro from power, the #Trump admin is gambling that it can intimidate VP & interim president #DelcyRodriguez's inner circle into toeing the #US line with threats of further #military action….

The US would consider another military operation if #Venezuela's interim government did not cooperate, Trump said Sunday.

"If they don't behave, we will do a second strike," he said.

#Trump told The Atlantic earlier Sunday he believes acquiring #Greenland is necessary for #US defense. “We do need Greenland, absolutely,” Trump said. “We need it for defense.”

Both Greenland & #Denmark, a #NATO ally of the US, are staunchly opposed to the idea.

Danish PM #MetteFrederiksen Sunday firmly rejected talk the #UnitedStates could take over Greenland.
