US EditionFormer Trump aide on threatening allies over Greenland: ‘Mentally ill, deranged’
Former officials sharply condemned Trump’s threats to seize Greenland, warning his rationale and rhetoric risk damaging crucial U.S. alliances, with calls for his removal intensifying.
- On Monday, Vanity Fair published an expose revealing an angry letter from President Donald Trump to Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store, reiterating his wish to claim Greenland, autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark.
- Trump framed the move as tied to U.S. interests and argued `Russia and China will take over Greenland` if the U.S. does not act, citing strategic fears.
- The diplomatic community reacted negatively, with Sarah Matthews saying `I don't say this lightly: I think this might be the most mentally ill, deranged thing that Donald Trump has done to date, to be threatening our allies and wanting to go to war, potentially, over Greenland, when his reasoning doesn't even make sense`, Vanity Fair reported.
- Calls mounted for U.S. Congress to act as the disclosures prompted demands to remove Trump under the 25th Amendment, while Danes and Greenlanders oppose selling Greenland.
- An anonymous former National Security Council member criticized senior administration officials for narrow rhetoric, noting the contradiction of warning about Russia and China while Trump invites Vladimir Putin to sit on his Board of Peace.
