US Pushes for Greenland Control Amid Opposition from Denmark and Greenland Leaders

US President Donald Trump has intensified efforts to acquire Greenland, citing its strategic importance for national security and urging NATO support. Trump has suggested options ranging from purchase to military action, despite strong opposition from Greenland's leaders and Denmark, who emphasize the island's autonomy and prefer to remain united. Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen and Danish officials have rejected US control, warning that forced annexation could damage NATO. High-level talks involving US Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Danish and Greenlandic ministers are underway to address the dispute amid rising geopolitical tensions.
