(Zero Hedge)—Following the Trump administration’s military operation to forcibly remove Nicolas Maduro, the wife of Trump’s deputy chief of staff triggered panic in Denmark and Europe after posting a picture of a map on X showing Greenland overlaid with the American flag with the caption “SOON.”
Her post drew a response from Denmark’s ambassador to the United States, Jesper Møller Sørensen, who wrote on X: “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. Greenland is already part of NATO.”

Trump has been publicly mulling the purchase – or takeover – of Greenland since at least 2019, “with varying degrees of serious,” despite repeated international pushback from Danish leaders.
On Sunday, Trump said the US needed Greenland “very badly” – renewing fears of a US invasion of the largely autonomous island that was a former Danish colony which still remains part of the Danish kingdom.
In response, Greenlandic prime minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen accused Trump of “completely and utterly unacceptable” rhetoric, adding “Enough is enough.”
“Threats, pressure and talk of annexation have no place between friends,” Nielsen said on Monday via social media. “That is not how you speak to a people who have shown responsibility, stability and loyalty time and again. Enough is enough. No more pressure. No more innuendo. No more fantasies about annexation.”
He did say that Greenland was “open to dialogue” if it came through appropriate channels in accordance with international law, “not random and disrespectful posts on social media.”
Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said that if Trump attacks Greenland, it would mean the end of the NATO alliance.
“I believe one should take the American president seriously when he says that he wants Greenland,” he told Danish broadcaster TV2. “But I will also make it clear that if the US chooses to attack another NATO country militarily, then everything stops, including NATO and thus the security that has been established since the end of the Second World War.”
Greenlandic member of the Danish parliament, Aja Chemnitz – a representative of the Inuit Ataqatigiit party, said that while she doesn’t believe invasion is imminent, Greenlanders should “prepare for the worst.”
“We should hope for the best and prepare for the worst. That’s the way I see it right now. We are in a situation that is concerning,” she told the Guardian, adding that Trump’s latest remarks were “the worst and most serious” of his threats to Greenland, and marked a “new world order.”
The EU is also in a panic, which on Monday said it would not stop defending the principle of territorial independence, particularly when it comes to another member of the 27-member bloc, the Guardian reports.
“The EU will continue to uphold the principles of national sovereignty, territorial integrity and the inviolability of borders,” said EU lead foreign policy spokesperson, Anitta Hipper. “These are universal principles, and we will not stop defending them, all the more so if the territorial integrity of a member state of the European Union is questioned.”
Meanwhile, British PM Kier Starmer said on Monday that he supports the autonomy of Greenland, and agrees that Trump should stop making threats.
German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul on Monday echoed the sentiment, saying that the NATO alliance – to which Denmark belongs – could discuss strengthening its protection of Greenland if needed.
Leaders in Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden have also expressed support of Denmark, per Forbes.
Speaking with reporters on Sunday aboard Air Force One, Trump said “We’ll worry about Greenland in about two months,” adding “Let’s talk about Greenland in 20 days.” Eh, ok.
Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
What does Denmark do again.
When Tony Soprano likes your 14 year old daughter, it is best to hand her over.
When is the last time Europe drove off a military aggressor without help from the United States? “Oh please Uncle Sam, send your sons to shed their blood to save *OUR* independent Greenland. For *democracy*.” I think the next best thing is for Trump to get Congress to sign an automatic aggressions pact. We won’t take Greenland, but if either China or Russia take it, it is an automatic demonstration of our nuclear capabilities to turn Greenland into a radioactive nuclear glass parking lot that no one can occupy for 50+ years. How about that Denmark? Are you willing to live with that?
I really like the sound of that.
The end of NATO? Would that be a bad thing? Not in my book.
The Un and NATO are failures
I love it
Don’t tempt Trump with talk that it would be the end of NATO….LOL. Really Denmark could care less about US security and more on holding on to it’s less than stellar past. The PM of Greenland knows they are out of a job if the US takes over. Maybe Denmark should consider talking over hoping for the best???
Both NATO and the UN are failed institutions, if the U.S. pulled out of either they would collapse within 5 years.
From your lips to God’s ear…may it be so…
sooner my friend
Denmark is suffering from dog-in-the-manger syndrome. Having worked for a Danish corporation, nobody in Denmark is thinking about Greenland. Housing, taxes, increased violence, and runaway immigration are at the top of the list. Greenland knows the USA will continue to provide security for free, as it does for Denmark and Canada.
You had me at Greenland. Skuttling NATO is icing on the cake.
The Kingdom of Denmark?
The Kingdom of Denmark?
KINGDOM???
Well the Dem’s and lefties will have no problem with the US acquiring Greenland from a King… Afterall – NO KINGS!!!!
Right??? No KINGS – I saw the “marches” & “demonstrations”.
All libs are No Kings tribalists so they must be on Trumps side on this one???
This is one American that would loved for us to end to NATO.
Second!
NATO and the UN are absolutely worthless. All US funding needs to end. The EU Nazi’s are an abomination to freedom and God. Every European and American who fought for freedom in WW2 Europe wasted their lives. Denmark should give us Greenland before the Russians or Chinese just take it. Denmark can’t protect their own country from Muslim invaders let alone a real military power.
Denmark couldn’t defend… well… Denmark. Greenland needs the U.S. umbrella to keep the CCP out. They can be an independent protectorate, a territory. They maintain their national identity while enjoying commerce with the U.S. and protection from the U.S. military. We already have a military base there, what’s a couple more?
I was undecided on Greenland, but, if it’s the end of NAT, I’m all in.
Greenland? We’ll take Denmark and all its territories.
The end of NATO would be a very good thing for the US
The end of NATO?
Your terms are acceptable.
Yeah, and my cat is my “partner” in the financial well being of my household.
