President Donald Trump ramps up Greenland takeover push, stoking new NATO and Arctic tensions

President Donald Trump has revived his controversial push for the United States to acquire Greenland, insisting that ownership — not partnership — is necessary to prevent Russian and Chinese influence in the Arctic. Speaking to reporters, Trump dismissed Denmark’s ability to defend the autonomous territory and brushed aside NATO’s role, framing the issue as a matter of U.S. strategic control. His remarks have alarmed European leaders and reignited diplomatic tensions, as Denmark and Greenland continue to reject any suggestion that the island is for sale. The renewed rhetoric highlights the growing geopolitical importance of the Arctic and signals a more aggressive U.S. posture in the region.
