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.
“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
Being cheap nah be the only reason evil won’t ultimately succeed.
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.
Serious question: why wouldn’t Greenland close the consulate and expel diplomats based on the threats to sovereignty?
“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.
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.
So he wants fanatics who don’t need money to go to Greenland? Sounds like zealots to me… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
He IS going to avoid elections by being at war, isn’t he?
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
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
the USA has such passage? That’s stupid but would explain why he wants to wage war with Venezuela.
No. But regulations and laws are meaningless with a complicit Congress.
Don’t forget that the Supreme Court is in his pocket as well!
And
MexicoGreenland will pay for it!The hypocrisy in a nutshell.
Also
service its communication channels
We all know what that means for MAGA.
