US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth refused to answer a simple question about the Trump's plans for Greenland, implying that the US military has drawn up plans to take the country by force. While testifying before Congress, Republican Representative Mike Turner gave Hegseth the opportunity to clarify the Trump administration's position on taking military action to acquire Greenland -- but the secretary refused to deny rumors of a potential invasion. You can hear Hegseth's testimony here: Twitter "We look forward to working with Greenland to ensure that it is secured from any potential threat," Hegseth concluded, still giving no clear answer.

Pete Hegseth's revelation also comes just hours after the Danish government approved the construction of US military bases on Danish soil. The Trumpf junta is also planning to move the mineral-rich Arctic island under the protection of USNORTHCOM, rather than USEUCOM, a symbolic change to incorporate the Danish territory. The White House also has plans to conduct an expensive public relations campaign to convince the 56,583 Greenlanders that they actually want to be Americans. Earlier this year, DNI Tulsi Gabbard ordered intelligence collection on Greenland. In a show of unity with Greenland, French President Emmanuel Macron will travel there this weekend (15 June) and meet with their new Prime Minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen. Link: Tulsi Gabbard
