Denmark Creates ‘Night Watch’ To Monitor Donald Trump Over Greenland Fears

November 28, 2025

Denmark’s government has set up a night watch alert system to monitor comments that President Donald Trump might make about Greenland, it has been reported.

The Danish foreign ministry has a team working shifts to keep tabs on any pronouncements the U.S. president might make about the autonomous territory, which is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, according to the Danish newspaper Politiken.

Rasmus Sinding Søndergaard, an expert on Danish-U.S. relations, told Newsweek the Danish government and Danish authorities remained very concerned about what Trump might do next in relation to Greenland. …

The newspaper said the policy has emerged after Trump’s statements that he would not rule out military or economic coercion to gain control of Greenland, a mineral-rich island which sits at the heart of the Arctic region contested by the U.S., Russia and China.

Copenhagen has repeatedly insisted that Greenland “is not for sale,” and Greenlanders themselves oppose the move, but the reported alert system shows the diplomatic reality faced by Denmark, and other countries, to the Trump administration. https://www.newsweek.com/denmark-trump-greenland-fears-11124683

Donald Trump is shaking up a lot of nations. While he may think all that he does is good, or even great, the fact is that there will be many unintended consequences of his statements, threats, and policies.

He is pushing away allies and offending a lot of them. More and more are seeing him act as a bully–and the European Union is taking steps.

A reader sent me a link earlier this week which had the following:

Ex–EU Foreign Policy Chief Declares America “No Longer an Ally” — Brussels Melts Down as Trump Bypasses EU on Ukraine Peace

Europe’s ‘liberal elites’ are saying the quiet part out loud, with former EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell expressing sentiments usually confined to the hushed hallways and backrooms in Brussels and Strasbourg: the European Union can no longer pretend the U.S. is an “ally” under Donald Trump’s leadership.

According to Borrell, Washington delivered its proposed Ukraine peace plan directly to Kyiv without even notifying Brussels, leaving Western EU leaders—who wrongly perceive themselves to be power brokers—sidelined and furious. …

He openly stated that America under Trump should no longer be considered an ally—an astonishing admission that says more about Europe’s globalist political class’s neurosis than about Trump. 11/26/25

Related to Greenland and Europe, here is something I posted here last January:

Donald Trump’s foreign policy statements have unsettled many—in the USA as well as foreign nations. He is believed by many to be more unpredictable than Richard Nixon. Many have rightly pointed out that he often acts as a bully.

Greenland

There is also something referred to as the “law of unintended consequences.” There are consequences for the USA, Europe, and elsewhere that have and will occur because of Donald Trump’s statements and actions.

Consider, for one example, that after his reelection, Donald Trump stated that the United States needed to have Greenland for defense and economic purposes. Not only did that offend the governments of Denmark and Greenland, the Danish government then announced that it would greatly increase the amount of money it would spend on the defense of Greenland.[i]

On January 7, 2025, Donald Trump refused to rule out military or economic actions to acquire Greenland.[ii] The next day, European leaders warned they would not tolerate an attack on Greenland and that the continent of Europe was strong.[iii]

Donald Trump then stated he would implement high tariffs against Denmark to try to get it to sell Greenland to the USA.

However, that overlooks the fact that the European Union has its Anti-Coercion Instrument, which is designed to stop a foreign power from trying to punish one EU nation. Because of that, analysts report that punitive tariffs against Denmark “could lead to unintended consequences” from the EU against the USA.[iv]

One longer term consequence of Donald Trump’s rhetoric may be that the Europeans could decide that Greenland would be a useful place to conduct surveillance on the US and Canada.

Additionally, it is also possible that Greenland could be used as a base to 1) interfere with US military satellite communications, 2) possibly neutralize some US military moves in Greenland, or even 3) a place to also launch an attack against the US, Canada, and/or even the UK. The Bible teaches about a great power who will be destroyed by its friends, who become enemies (Lamentations 1:1-2)—some statements by Donald Trump are pushing “friends” (NATO allies) into being enemies. …

The USA will be attacked by “friends” consistent with the following:

1 How lonely sits the city
That was full of people!

How like a widow is she,
Who was great among the nations!

The princess among the provinces Has become a slave!

2 She weeps bitterly in the night,
Her tears are on her cheeks;
Among all her lovers
She has none to comfort her.

All her friends have dealt treacherously with her;
They have become her enemies. cf. Lamentations 1:1-2).

Notice the one who was “great among the nations” will be conquered by friends, who will become enemies.

The USA was prophesied to be “great” in Genesis 48:19 and is considered by international sources to be great among the nations of the world today.[v]

Yes, the Bible teaches about a great power who will be destroyed by its friends, who become enemies (Lamentations 1:1-2). Donald Trump offending the Europeans is leading to that.

And prophetically, a more militarized Greenland could play a role.

Related to what the relationship between Europe and the United States is leading to, the Continuing Church of God put together the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel discussing various views and scriptures about that:

14:26

European Union wants military independence from the USA

European Union wants to be militarily independent of the USA – check, European Union wants a larger military – check, European Union wants nukes – check, European Union wants this for defensive purposes –will Europe acquire a great army? Will Europe defeat the Biblical King of the South? Is Europe the King of the North? Will Europe defeat the King(s) from the east? Here’s a big question – will Europe conquer the United States of America? Is the United State of America mentioned in the Bible? These are fascinating questions that will be answered in the very near future. The fact that these conflicts will occur is a certainty, as they are a prophesied fact in the Bible in the book of Daniel. But when will these conflicts occur? Daniel was told to shut up the words, they were for the time of the end. Dan 12:4: ‘But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.’ We are there. This is the time of the end. Dr. Thiel will shine the light on the answers to these questions. One answer, in particular, is sure to stun thousands.

Here is a link to our video: European Union wants military independence from the USA.

Church of God warnings on trade are coming to pass.

The USA, consistent with Lamentations 1:1-2, is pushing friends to become enemies.

World events are aligning with properly understood biblical prophecies.
