President-elect threatens to hit Denmark with high tariffs if officials there don’t cooperate with his bid for Greenland
"...During Tuesday’s news conference, Trump threatened to hit Denmark with tariffs “at a very high level” if Danish officials don’t cooperate with his bid to take over Greenland. He also questioned whether Denmark has any legal right to control the territory.
“People really don’t even know if Denmark has any legal right to it, but if they do, they should give it up, because we need it for national security,” Trump said.
Trump and transition officials have offered no details on the president’s apparent plans for territorial expansion, and officials in Denmark, Greenland, Canada and Panama have so far rejected his entreaties.
The president-elect said he would consider using economic coercion to convince Canada to become part of the U.S., but he ruled out using military force. ..."

"...Trump’s national security team has had preliminary discussions about a process by which Trump would direct the State Department to undertake negotiations with the governments of Denmark and Greenland, according to people close to the transition. That could potentially happen through a Compacts of Free Association agreement—a financial assistance pact similar to what the U.S. currently has with several Pacific Island nations.
Trump’s advisers hope to launch potential negotiations once the president-elect takes office, the people said. The governments of Denmark and Greenland continue to publicly dismiss any discussion of a potential “sale” of Greenland. ..."

The people that voted for Trump are the joke. They all fall into at least one category:
1. Rich and greedy
2. Racist and bigoted Christian nationalists
3. Complete idiots

Donald Trump to a question about providing security guarantees for Ukraine: "Russia for many years said you could never have NATO involved with Ukraine. That's been like written in stone. And Biden said no, they should be able to join NATO. Then Russia has somebody right on their doorstep. I could understand their feelings about that."
