A day after the ouster of Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro, President Donald Trump is renewing his calls for an American takeover of the Danish territory of Greenland.

Trump has renewed doubts over his commitment to the NATO alliance, saying countries that aren't spending adequately on their militaries don't deserve defense.

During his first administration, Trump said in 2018 that the defense spending goal for NATO should be doubled to 4 percent. While on the campaign trail in the lead-up to the 2024 election, he also accused NATO of relying too much on U.S. contributions.

President Donald Trump said in an interview published Sunday that the United States needs to annex Greenland "for defense," while his deputy chief of staff's wife was reproached by Denmark's ambassador to the U.

Stop threatening a historically close ally and another country and people who have made it very clear that they are not for sale,' said Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen

Russia’s foreign ministry condemned what it called a U.S. “act of armed aggression” against Venezuela in a statement posted on its Telegram channel Saturday. The ouster of Maduro, who was backed by the Russians, comes as Trump is urging Putin to end his war on Ukraine.

Denmark’s ambassador to the US responded to Miller’s post with a “friendly reminder” that the two countries were allies and that Denmark expected respect for its territorial integrity.

In 2025, the U.S. struck land targets in seven countries: Iran, Iraq, Nigeria, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela, and Yemen. On Saturday morning, Trump announced a special forces raid that resulted in the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro.

The U.S. intervention in Venezuela is forcing a geopolitical reckoning — in Washington, throughout the Western Hemisphere and around the world. President Donald Trump’s decision to launch a surprise military action and extract Nicolás Maduro ended a years-long standoff with Caracas in a matter of hours — but the move has opened up a new set of questions.
