What can Europe do to deter America from seizing Greenland?

1. Making the U.S. aware of the implications of seizing Greenland

2. Preparing a deterrent package, by threatening to:

- Suspend U.S. trade deals
- sell-off of U.S. debt holdings
- Invoke EU mutual defense clause preemptively

On the spectrum of Trump’s public musings, Canada is at the trolling end. Not Greenland. Beware Europeans!

There’s a reason Trump is not asking for congressional nor international approval for its operation(s).

He knows people aren’t with him, as other states are not.

Explosions hit Venezuelan capital Caracas. It looks like Trump has decided to go to war, quite a move for a wanna-be Nobel Peace Prize candidate
