There are 195 countries in the world. Trump is currently threatening military action against Venezuela and Greenland (part of Denmark).

Why these two countries?

Picture 1: Venezuela ranks number 1 in oil reserves.

Picture 2: Greenland ranks number 8 in rare earth deposits.

Maybe Greenland is safe for now, because Denmark is a member of NATO. But Venezuela is not, and that is where 10 of the largest US war ships are now launching “Operation Southern Spear”.
