Is America preparing a major military operation?

"On Capitol Hill, Democrats and Republicans have begun to express concern—according to two sources familiar with the situation, the administration (White House – ed.) appears to be moving again toward a major military operation without prior consultation with Congress," the article states.

Lawmakers are prepared to initiate impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump in the event of an intervention in Greenland. They reportedly warned Secretary of State Mark Rubi and other senior officials, the article notes.

At the same time, individuals close to the U.S. administration claim that a military takeover scenario for the island was never seriously considered, the publication concludes.

Situation regarding Greenland

Since the beginning of his second presidential term, Trump has repeatedly stated that Greenland should become part of the United States. He claimed that Russian and Chinese submarines are allegedly near the island and that, in case of war, "missiles would fly over it."

Washington’s stance has drawn sharp criticism in Greenland itself, where the authorities and the majority of residents oppose joining the U.S. The initiative also did not receive support in Europe.

Last week, the White House chief met with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. According to CNN, the parties agreed that a potential deal concerning the island would involve strengthening NATO’s role, expanding U.S. access to resources, and banning investments from Russia and China. At the same time, Axios reports that the project does not involve transferring sovereignty over the island to the Americans. Instead, the plan is to deploy "Iron Dome" missile defense systems there.
