Trump also told the Times that he isn’t opposed to using nuclear force if he “needed it” to take over the Arctic island but that “it might upset NATO," since the island is a self-governing territory of NATO member country Denmark.

      It would 100% be the end of the world.

      Using any kind nuclear force ends in a global apocalypse. Thousands or scenarios and simulations were run on this topic for the past several decades, and the result is always the same. Whoever start shooting nukes for whatever reason, it doesn’t matter at the end. There is always escalation by other parties, and most of humanity dies.
