Politico: How Trump Could Take Greenland in 4 Steps

Former US President Donald Trump has expressed interest in acquiring Greenland, causing international disruption. While US Secretary of State Marco Rubio attempted to downplay the possibility of military intervention, Politico explored a potential scenario for the island's takeover in four steps. The article notes that Trump's strategy resembles Vladimir Putin's expansionist plan, raising concerns among European countries. According to sources, the takeover could be achieved with relatively few military forces. The first step would be to strengthen the Greenlandic independence movement, as an independent Greenland could sign agreements directly with the US, without Danish approval. Secret influence operations by Americans linked to Trump have been reported, warning of potential interference similar to that used by Russia in other countries.
