Trump Pushes for US Control of Greenland Amid Rejection by Denmark and Greenland

US President Donald Trump has intensified efforts to acquire Greenland, citing national security and the strategic importance of the island for a missile defense system. He urged NATO to support US control, warning that Russia or China might otherwise claim it. Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen and Danish leaders firmly rejected the proposal, affirming Greenland's status within the Kingdom of Denmark and NATO. High-level talks involving US, Danish, and Greenlandic officials are underway amid diplomatic tensions and legislative moves in the US Congress to block forced acquisition.
