The interns would receive financial support from Danish taxpayers, at the same time as Trump threatens to annex the semi-autonomous Danish territory
The US Consulate in Nuuk, Greenland, is looking for unpaid interns to service its communication channels, leaving local authorities to foot the bill of financially supporting applicants while the US steps up annexation threats.
Last week, Donald Trump appointed a special envoy to Greenland – a semi-autonomous territory under the Danish Realm – sparking backlash from Greenlandic, Danish and European authorities.
Initially expressing interest in acquiring the island during his first term in 2019, Trump has ramped up discourse and efforts during his second term, going so far as to suggest the US would use military force to annex the Inuit nation.
If I were Greenlanders, I’d be stock piling high powered rifles and ammunition. If I were Denmark, I’d be shipping Manpads to Greenland in bulk.
“The US Consulate in Greenland reopened in June 2020 during Trump’s first term. In 2025, shortly after Trump was re-appointed president, the consulate moved to larger, 3,000 square meter offices in central Nuuk, equipped with armoured glass.”
Ah yes, the actions of someone who is confident they will be welcomed with open arms.

I’m over here, laughing in OpSec
They say you pay your auxiliaries in patriotism. That and two pennies will buy them a beer.
Serious question: why wouldn’t Greenland close the consulate and expel diplomats based on the threats to sovereignty?
S america did, when US diplomats tried to incite a coup, GREENLAND SHOULD.
Absolutely. The only wild card is the US military base in Greenland. Revoke all permissions for US soldiers to leave the base. Make it an offence for them to be outside the perimeter. If they are caught, arrest them, and deport them. Then work on dismantling the base
sometimes ppl think it’s not worth stirring up more overt trouble, and just try to ride out the madness until the next admin while silently doing what you can to protect your own interests.
“We pay for your interns and don’t even mention it” is such a nice burn though. Not that any member of the current US admin will get it, but the rest of the world does.
The rest of the world gets what?
That Greenland is paying for the Americans to come and try and annex their land…I don’t think the current admin cares. They like that set up.
Will any other country pay for trump to send people in to destabilize their homeland? I’m sure he would like to know more.
It’s implying that the interns will work for free but that they will be paid by adversaries to the US to gather Intel.
Real life is stranger than fiction man. I’ve never seen anything this crazy in any dystopian novels I’ve read.
Worst bit about it? There was a world telling US voters for at least 15 years this was where they were headed. We knew if they gave Trump control again, this would happen. The only thing stopping him the first time was he didn’t have the people in the right places. Now he does.
That’s without their imperial ambitions.
So they went ahead and did it twice. Of course.
Dude, the world has been quite done with the US since before 2016. It’s now just hit parody levels of ridiculous.
3 times if you count both his first term and 2020.
He IS going to avoid elections by being at war, isn’t he?
Not avoid them but using successful military operations to boost your popularly is an old strategy and using unsuccessful military operations to argue against “rocking the boat” was George W Bush’s strategy.
I know it’s bleak but that isn’t how it works
The states get to conduct their own elections and we’ve always had elections during war anyway
Federalism is one of the few really good ideas the founders had for dealing with this exact problem: a tyrannical federal government
Except the red states are going to do what he says and the blue states are going to be invaded by national Guardsmen from the red States.
Blue states ask for help then ironically, Putler/pooh comes?
Then everyone is confused
Yes, but lets not pretend laws and precedence mean much any more.
I know, and they are disregarding laws I don’t mean to imply otherwise, and this is a perverse point to make but
We’ve had elections during every war so far so I think the best they can do is attempt to hack them and cheat in more conventional ways
Yeah, it really seems like they stole the last election with shady vote machines after implying that the Dems did it in 2000.
Everything they attack is a clue, from “rigged elections” to “anti fascism”.
the USA has such passage? That’s stupid but would explain why he wants to wage war with Venezuela.
No, the US has had elections during war before. Hell, it had an election during world war 2. But Trump has the backing of the media, lawmakers, and the Supreme Court. So he could certainly try, and every other group who is supposed to step in and stop him would probably let him instead.
No. But regulations and laws are meaningless with a complicit Congress.
Don’t forget that the Supreme Court is in his pocket as well!
Being cheap nah be the only reason evil won’t ultimately succeed.
And
MexicoGreenland will pay for it!So he wants fanatics who don’t need money to go to Greenland? Sounds like zealots to me… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The hypocrisy in a nutshell.
Also
service its communication channels
We all know what that means for MAGA.
