There is no reference to a national security document that supports Trump’s claim that Greenland is necessary for US national security. An invasion of Greenland would be an act of war and under the US Constitution would require a declaration of war by the US Congress.

In the 21st, Century US presidents have declared countries to be threats without explaining why they are threats. For example, in 2015 President Obama declared Venezuela to be “an unusual and extraordinary threat to US national security” without providing any explanation of the threat.
