Trump’s ‘blow ‘em up’ threat to Oman means he’s now attacked or threatened 1 out of every 13 countries

He’s launched strikes in seven countries so far this term — Iran, Iraq, Nigeria, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela and Yemen — after also attacking some of those countries in his first term. That doesn’t even count the strikes on alleged drug-trafficking boats in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean, which have targeted nearly 60 vessels and killed more than 190 people.

He has also threatened or left open the possibility of strikes against seven others this term: Canada, Colombia, Cuba, Greenland (which is part of Denmark), Mexico, Panama and now Oman. He also threatened Mexico and North Korea in his first term.

Versuchslabor des Tages: Grönland

Die USA haben ein Problem. Es ist schlimmer als das Fehlen von Raketen und Bomben, das sich beim Angriffskrieg gegen Iran so bitter bemerkbar machte. Es lautet: Mit der Softpower ist es vorbei, mit dem guten Gefühl, das einst etwa Hollywood-Filme in aller Welt vermittelten. Den besten Beweis dafür lieferte die Eröffnung des neuen US-Konsulats mitten im Herzen der grönländischen Hauptstadt Nuuk am Donnerstag. Nicht nur, dass lokale Offizielle dem Event demonstrativ fernblieben. Obendrein zogen auch noch erstaunlich viele Grönländer vor das von ihnen »Trump Towers« getaufte Gebäude, um die Festlichkeiten mit »Ami go home!«- und »Nein heißt nein!«-Rufen zu stören.

Trump still ‚very serious‘ about Greenland, Danish PM warns ahead of panel

(February 14, 2026)

Earlier today, the Danish PM was asked whether the crisis has passed now that negotiations are taking place between Copenhagen and Washington, to which she replied that she doesn‘t believe so.

„I think the desire from the US president is exactly the same. He’s very serious about this,“ she said.

She‘s also reiterated it isn‘t possible to put a price on the island and that sovereignty needs to be respected – adding that the Greenlandic people have already signalled they do not want to be American.

‘It hurts my heart’: Sen. Murkowski travels to Greenland after threats by Pres. Trump to acquire territory

While she may have been the only Republican there, Murkowski said there are many others who quietly disagree with the president.

“I will also speak to the fact that there are some members of my party who don’t want to be seen as engaging in anything that might be viewed as contrary to President Trump’s initiative or desire, and so who may not be speaking out publicly,” she said.

She also said conversations with her fellow Republicans show that “occupying, owning, controlling, taking over Greenland,” is the “red line.”

Danish troops were ‚combat ready‘ in Greenland

(January 23, 2026)

DR said a Danish military order last week said soldiers in Greenland should be equipped with live ammunition.

(…)

The deployment was officially a part of the Danish-led military exercise Arctic Endurance — which Copenhagen has said will continue „throughout large parts of the coming year.“

A few days after Trump announced that the United States would get Greenland „one way or the other“, eight European countries sent several dozen troops to Greenland, officially to prepare for the exercise.

Some have since departed, including a group of about 15 Germans and some Swedes, while others continue to arrive.

Denmark says NATO chief cannot negotiate on its behalf

(January 22, 2026)

NATO chief Mark Rutte cannot negotiate on behalf of Denmark over Greenland, the Danish government said on Thursday, a day after US President Donald Trump announced a deal following talks between the two men.

Trump backed down on threats to seize Greenland by force after meeting Rutte on Wednesday, saying he had reached a „framework“ of a deal on the Danish autonomous territory.

Trump says rare earths are part of his Greenland deal. It’s ‘completely bonkers’

“The idea of turning Greenland into America’s rare-earth factory is science fiction. It’s just completely bonkers,” said Malte Humpert, founder and senior fellow at The Arctic Institute. “You might as well mine on the moon. In some respects, it’s worse than the moon.”

Despite its name, approximately 80% of Greenland is covered with ice. And mineral extraction — or just about anything — in the Arctic can be five to 10 times more expensive than doing it elsewhere on the planet.

Alle Optionen bleiben denkbar – 3 strategische Ziele: So agiert Dänemark gegen Trumps Grönland-Drohungen

Obwohl ein direkter militärischer Konflikt zwischen Nato-Partnern bisher als undenkbar galt, hat die dänische Ministerpräsidentin Mette Frederiksen klargestellt, dass man nach Trumps Weigerung, militärische Gewalt auszuschließen, keine Option mehr ignorieren könne. Die Stationierung von Soldaten erhöht daher die „politischen Kosten“ für die USA massiv.

Ein Angriff auf Grönland würde nun bedeuten, dass US-Truppen direkt gegen Soldaten anderer Nato-Länder kämpfen müssten.
Ein solches Szenario würde in den USA vermutlich auf massiven innenpolitischen und womöglich militärischen Widerstand stoßen.
Die Hoffnung Kopenhagens ist, dass diese politische Hürde schwerer wiegt als die abstrakte Sorge vor einem Zusammenbruch der Nato.

None of the base improvements, which USA TODAY reviewed via federal purchasing systems, appear to signal a significant increase in size or change in mission. The runway upgrades, for instance, include improvements to the landing and taxiway lighting systems, a critical component given the facility is in darkness for long stretches but depends heavily on resupply flights from the U.S. mainland.

But notes in the contracting materials also reference classified work that might be performed by the U.S. military or specialized contractors.

France is committed to the sovereignty and independence of nations, in Europe and elsewhere. This guides our choices. It underpins our commitment to the United Nations and to its Charter.

It is on this basis that we support, and will continue to support Ukraine and that we have built a coalition of the willing for a robust and lasting peace, to defend these principles and our security.

It is also on this basis that we decided to take part in the exercise organized by Denmark in Greenland. We fully assume this decision, because security in the Arctic and at the outer edges of our Europe is at stake.

No intimidation or threat will influence us—neither in Ukraine, nor in Greenland, nor anywhere else in the world when we are confronted with such situations.

Tariff threats are unacceptable and have no place in this context. Europeans will respond in a united and coordinated manner should they be confirmed. We will ensure that European sovereignty is upheld.

It is in this spirit that I will engage with our European partners.

While Trump’s exact motives for his aggression in our hemisphere remain opaque, our own predicament is now clearer.
