In Washington, some Trump allies are warming to the challenge. Rep. Andrew Ogles (R-Tennessee) this month introduced the “Make Greenland Great Again” Act, which would direct Congress to back Trump’s negotiations to acquire the territory.

President Trump is doubling down on his efforts to acquire Greenland from Denmark, and now the Danish government is pushing back.

Some of Trumps threats to take over Greenland, Canada, and the Panama Canal are based on actual U.S. strategic goals. Others are just idiotic.
