Fears in Greenland of US takeover after Venezuela operation... as leading MAGA figure says it will happen 'SOON'
Following the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, Greenland might just be the next location the US plans to takeover, according to a MAGA ally.
The attack on Venezuela and the capture of the country's president has sparked fears that the US plans to take over Greenland, a territory which President Trump has repeatedly said is vital to America's security interests.
Hours after Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro was taken into custody on drug trafficking charges, Katie Miller, the wife of Trump's Deputy Chief of Staff, Steven Miller, shared a controversial post seemingly calling for the US to take the Arctic island over.
Miller, a conservative podcaster, posted a map of the Danish territory covered by the American flag and simply wrote 'SOON.'
The MAGA ally's threat immediately drew outrage among Greenlanders and Danes who stood up to protect their home, which is known for its untapped mineral wealth and is part of NATO.
Jesper Moller Sorensen, Denmark's ambassador to the US, reposted Miller's incitement and shared a 'friendly reminder' of the established defense ties between the two countries.
'Just a friendly reminder about the US and the Kingdom of Denmark: We are close allies and should continue to work together as such. US security is also Greenland’s and Denmark’s security,' Sorensen wrote.
'Greenland is already part of NATO. The Kingdom of Denmark and the United States work together to ensure security in the Arctic.
'The Kingdom of Denmark has significantly boosted its Arctic security efforts - in 2025 alone, we committed USD 13.7 bn that can be used in the Arctic and North Atlantic. Because we take our joint security seriously.'

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen echoed Sorensen and revealed the country is ramping up its military force amid Trump's threat to take over Greenland.
During her annual New Year's speech, Frederiksen blasted Trump's ongoing threats, insisting that Denmark will 'stand firm on what is right and wrong.'
'In this past year, we have had to pay attention to a lot. Threats. Pressure. Derogatory language. From our closest ally for a lifetime,' Frederiksen said, according to Danish daily newspaper
