US President Donald Trump warned the US could leave NATO if allies do not back his bid to acquire Greenland, calling it vital for national security. He also threatened tariffs on countries opposing the plan, despite European allies deploying troops and voicing opposition.
US President Donald Trump on Friday (Jan 16) warned that the United States may pull out of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) if America’s allies do not agree to its bid to acquire Greenland. This comes after Trump threatened to impose tariffs on nation that don’t back his plan of acquiring the Arctic territory.
When asked by a reporter whether he would “pull out of NATO if it doesn’t help you acquire Greenland,” Trump responded by saying, “We’re going to see.”
“NATO has been dealing with us on Greenland, we need Greenland for national security very badly. If we don’t have it we have a very big hole in terms of national security, especially in terms of the Golden Dome,” Trump added. He was referring to the multi-layer missile defence system that he believes is reliant on seizing control of Denmark’s Arctic territory.
Trump earlier threatened to impose tariffs on countries that don’t support his plan to take over Greenland. Speaking at an event in the White House, Trump referred to the tariffs he slapped on pharmaceutical imports from the EU as part of his efforts to lower drug prices in the US, and said, “I may do that for Greenland too. I may put a tariff on countries if they don’t go along with Greenland, because we need Greenland for national security.”
On Wednesday (Jan 14), the US president said that the United States need Greenland for its national security interests, warning that Russia or China could otherwise attempt to gain control of the strategically located Arctic territory.
Meanwhile, NATO allies including Britain, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden have deployed some troops to Greenland against Trump’s repeated threats. In response, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told a briefing that the employment of European troops in Greenland has no impact on Trump’s plans to take over Greenland.
Something everyone said would never happen will happen, whatever the reason and whenever the cause, Europe and America will separate from NATO and this is based on Bible Prophecy. But its surprising how fast things are changing and few if any would have seen this coming.
What is also interesting is the EU is saying they need to Re-Arm and President Emmanual Macron says that the EU needs hundreds of billions in defense spending.
President Macron is also on record saying he wants to bring Russia back to the negotiating table and begin dialogue on some form of a Security Pact with Russia, NATO’s existence in its current form will be an issue even more so now.
The Bible has long revealed that Russia and an EU Army will enter into a final conflict with Israel and the Middle East. Germany is the key country in what Bible Prophecy refers to as the land of “Magog”. They are spoken of militarily as the “King of the North”. Together the Bible says that Russia and the EU will invade the Middle East in the Last Days. So Bible Students expect to see Germany and France taking a greater role in leading Europe. It is also interesting to see Germany taking greater control of a continent they tried to take by war and failed.
Yet again we see in Todays News Headlines words that show how the Nations are fulfilling the latter day alignment of Nations as Prophesied by the Bible.
