Trump's remarks came one day after U.S. special forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in a raid. Washington confirmed its intention to oversee the governance of this oil-rich Latin American nation. The operation raised concerns in Denmark that Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory, might face a similar fate. Greenland's Prime Minister Jens Frederik Nielsen stated, "The pot has boiled over." Denmark's allies in Europe affirmed that the Arctic island's future must be decided by its people, rejecting President Donald Trump's repeated claims about his intent to seize the vast region.
