Trump has reportedly asked special forces to prepare contingency plans for a possible invasion of Greenland, a move that has faced resistance from senior US military officials over legal and political concerns.

US President Donald Trump has reportedly asked senior special forces commanders to begin preparing contingency plans for a possible invasion of Greenland, the Daily Mail reported on Sunday.

The proposal has triggered strong resistance within the US military, with senior officials questioning both its legality and political feasibility.

“The generals think Trump’s Greenland plan is crazy and illegal,” a diplomatic source told the Mail.

“Some European officials suspect this is the real aim of the hardline MAGA faction around Trump,” the report said.
