31. Use of the military could be a bluff.

But Trump's threats are already a Military Assault. He is taking Greenland at the point of a gun. Assault with a deadly weapon.

If his "negotiation" fails, the US Military could take over Nuuk in less than an hour. He would then announce that Greenland has been annexed. That's the kind of military action Trump likes.
