Trump Threatens Greenland, Cuba, Colombia

Following a U.S. military operation in Venezuela, President Donald Trump renewed calls for an American takeover of Denmark — Greenland, citing U.S. security interests and the presence of Russian and Chinese ships. This sparked strong opposition from Denmark, which has jurisdiction over Denmark — Greenland, with Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen stating Donald Trump has no right to annex the territory. Concurrently, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued stern warnings to Cuba, a key ally of Venezuela, declaring its government 'in a lot of trouble' and highlighting its failing economy. Donald Trump also threatened military action against Colombia, accusing its president, Gustavo Petro, of facilitating the global cocaine trade and imposing sanctions. These actions underscore a more assertive U.S. foreign policy in the Western Hemisphere, causing concern among allies and adversaries alike.
