After the stunning military raid to extract Nicolas Maduro from Caracas, the issue of Greenland instantly resurfaced on Sunday morning. Trump has not forgotten about Greenland and has doubled down on his pledge to get it somehow away from Denmark. Military force hasn't been ruled out. In terms of Technocracy's original map of the North American Technate, note the northern and southern extremities. Columbia and Mexico are already being threatened with military action. ?

The President says US needs Danish territory 'for defence' from China and Russia

Donald Trump has set his sights on a US takeover of Greenland after capturing Nicolas Maduro and saying he would run Venezuela.

"We do need Greenland, absolutely," the US president told The Atlantic magazine, adding that the Danish territory was "surrounded by Russian and Chinese ships".

He said officials in his administration would decide what happened to Greenland, which Mr Trump has claimed the US must annex for its security.

"We need it for defence," he said of Greenland.
