Aboard Air Force One, Trump said, “Cuba looks like it’s ready to fall,” and “Colombia is very sick too.” That comes one day after the US military and civilian agencies illegally invaded Venezuela and abducted President Nicolás Maduro.
On Sunday, January 4, 2026, Trump renewed his calls for an US takeover of the Danish territory of Greenland.
Earlier in the day, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said, “It makes absolutely no sense to talk about the US needing to take over Greenland. The US has no right to annex any of the three countries in the Danish kingdom.”
Trump threatened illegal military action against Colombia for facilitating the global sale of cocaine.
Rubio, a Cuban-American, also on Sunday, declared the communist government in Cuba is “in a lot of trouble.”
After Venezuela, Trump is eyeing other nations in the Western Hemisphere to attack. In an interview with The Atlantic on Sunday, he said, “We do need Greenland, absolutely.” He said Greenland was “surrounded by Russian and Chinese ships.” In his Fox News interview, Trump said, “Something is going to have to be done with Mexico.” Trump’s secretary of state, Marco Rubio, on Sunday told Meet the Press that “the Cuban government is a huge problem” and “they are in a lot of trouble.” Trump also threatened military action against Colombia and Iran.
