Greenland, Colombia, Cuba, Mexico, Iran, and more: After Maduro’s capture, right-wing media encourage escalating US involvement around the globe

Following the U.S. capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, right-wing media figures are pushing for the Trump administration to next target other countries — including Colombia, Cuba, and Mexico — and even to take Greenland from Denmark, a NATO ally.

President Donald Trump has publicly contemplated further military action against other countries such as Colombia and Cuba. In recent interviews, both Trump and White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller have pushed for the United States to take over Greenland for security and mineral resources. Trump’s suggestions of nation building in Venezuela and possibly more countries are a shift from MAGA’s seemingly isolationist policy platform, and the military actions in Venezuela have caused a split in the right-wing base between those against foreign interference and “America First” isolationism.
