Donald Trump’s desire to annex Greenland will not be thwarted and there could be meaningful U.S. action related to the Arctic island within “weeks or months,” according to a senior administration official.

That’s the view of Thomas Dans, Trump’s Arctic commissioner. He’s regarded as one of the main proponents of the president’s interest in Greenland, an idea first brought to Trump by billionaire and former diplomat Ronald Lauder.

Dans has been working on the issue since 2020.

    They let Germany have Poland. I wouldn’t be surprised if they let him take it. Only when he tries invading Canada will the rest of the world do something.

      They very much did not let Germany have Poland. That is generally considered to be the first day of the first second world war.

      They let Germany have Czechoslovakia, and Chamberlain only really did that because he knew that if he didn’t, Britain wouldn’t have time to prepare.
