Denmark rankles at MAGA post on Greenland after Trump’s Venezuela operation

Denmark was outraged on Sunday after a rightwing podcaster in the U.S. pivoted from Washington’s Venezuela operation directly to Greenland, the autonomous Danish territory that U.S. President Donald Trump has coveted.

Katie Miller, a former U.S. administration official-turned-podcaster and wife of Trump’s deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, posted an image on X late Saturday showing a map of Greenland in the colors of the Stars and Stripes with a one-word caption: “SOON.”

Trump’s repeated threats to annex the mineral-rich territory have angered the Danes. And there was a quick response to Miller’s provocation.

“We expect full respect for the territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Denmark,” Copenhagen’s ambassador to the U.S., Jesper Møller Sørensen, said in a post on X that included Miller’s posting, in what he termed a “friendly reminder” of the longstanding defense ties between the two countries.

Trump last month named a special envoy to Greenland, sparking a new diplomatic frenzy in Europe.

The U.S. “has to have Greenland for national security,” Trump said at a press conference announcing the appointment of Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry as his envoy to Greenland.

U.S. Vice President JD Vance last March did not rule out using military action to bring Greenland under American control, but said it wouldn’t be necessary if Greenlanders chose to break from Denmark and “cut a deal” with Washington.

An American military incursion in Venezuela early Saturday captured President Nicolas Maduro and flew him out of the country. Hours later, Trump said the U.S. will “run” Venezuela until a leadership transition is able to take place.
