In his second term, President Trump has made no secret of his desire to expand America’s northern borders. Canada, he says, “was meant to be the 51st state.” And he insists the island of Greenland — a semiautonomous territory of Denmark — should belong to the U.

President Donald Trump says protecting national security gives him the authority to end collective bargaining with labor unions across most of the federal government. JD Vance and his wife are due to visit an American military base in Greenland on Friday in a trip scaled back after an uproar among Greenlanders and Danes over the uninvited guests.

Although most still see the countries’ relationship as at least “friendly,” just under half of US adults now consider the US to be “close allies” with its neighbor to the north.
