Talk about Chicken Little. The Media has been abuzz about what happens if we invade or how the tariff wars will cause economic melt down. Right!
Voldemort will negotiate a deal, probably where ownership of the island stays the same but we get a massive land pad to build an military base.
Another blustery crisis averted...that was a tempest in a teapot. BTW: See below breaking news. Tariffs called off.
Trump Says U.S. Won’t Use Force, but Calls for Immediate Talks on Greenland

Jan 21, 2026
In his Davos speech, the president said Denmark isn't adequately prepared to defend the island and the U.S. is seeking negotiations on its acquisition.
President Trump said the U.S. wouldn't use force to acquire Greenland and was seeking negotiations on the acquisition of the territory, repeating his claim that only the U.S. is capable of defending it.
In an address that lasted for more than an hour in Davos, Switzerland, he said the reason the U.S. needs to take control of Greenland is purely for security and has nothing to do with access to minerals, calling Denmark “ungrateful” for U.S. action in World War II.
Stocks opened higher during Trump's speech, and the Dow was up roughly 1% in mid-morning trading.
The president quickly focused on Europe as he opened his address, saying the region isn't heading in the right direction and criticizing the region's approach to energy and immigration.
The speech, which was followed by a chat with World Economic Forum CEO Børge Brende, came on the back of raised tensions between the U.S. and Europe over the president's designs on Greenland, with terse exchanges between officials at the Swiss gathering.
Trump said the U.S. received nothing from NATO apart from what he described as “protecting Europe.”
The president touted his European ancestry, adding “We want Europe to be strong.”
He joked that he had friends in the Davos audience but also “a few enemies.”
Oh, breaking news!
