US President Donald Trump has reportedly ordered his special forces commanders to draw up plans for an invasion of Greenland, but has reportedly met resistance from senior military figures.

According to a report by The Daily Mail, which cited military sources in the know, Trump has ordered the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) to draw up invasion plans for the Arctic island, but the joint chiefs of staff have pushed back against the US President, arguing that such a move would be illegal and would not receive the support of the Congress.
