Mr. Trump has repeatedly vowed to secure U.S. control of Greenland, a semi-autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark, while threatening to make Canada the 51st state.
To get to Greenland though he’s mostly got to go through Canada’s territorial waters first, or else take a very long way around in the Alantic Ocean (giving more time for everyone to prepare a response).
So, he’d be willing to take on both Canada and Denmark (who’d likely be backed up by other members of the EU) ?
Even if he doesn’t enter Canadian waters, couldn’t Denmark just invoke article 5? That’s a recipe for a war even more damaging to the US than the trade wars he’s been instigating.
He’s just a weak old man pretending to be what he thinks a strong man is.

More hot air.
Distraction, only distraction from what’s happening in the US itself.
