Trump’s desire for the US to take possession of Greenland may once have been treated as a lark, but following last week’s capture of Maduro, it’s become clear that he's increasingly acquiring a taste for military action and that he is even less constrained by international norms than we thought.
Can anyone stop Trump from seizing Greenland?
Europeans and Greenlanders are strongly opposed to an American land grab. But their options to stop it are limited.

There’s virtually no chance that President Trump’s Justice Department will bring federal charges against the officer who killed this woman. But if further investigations reveal that the shooting was not legally justified, state prosecutors could charge the officer responsible with a homicide crime.
