After Venezuela raid, Trump says ‘We do need Greenland, absolutely’ — prompting Denmark to warn U.S. has ‘no right to annex’ the territory

A day after the audacious U.S. military operationin Venezuela, President Donald Trump on Sunday renewed his calls for an American takeover of the Danish territory of Greenland for the sake of U.S. security interests, while his top diplomat declared the communist government in Cuba is “in a lot of trouble.”

The comments from Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio after the ouster of Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro underscore that the U.S. administration is serious about taking a more expansive role in the Western Hemisphere.
