US Push for Greenland Acquisition Sparks Diplomatic Tensions with Denmark and Allies

US President Donald Trump has reiterated his desire for the United States to acquire Greenland, citing national security concerns and the strategic importance of the Arctic amid rising Russian and Chinese influence. Denmark and Greenland, both NATO allies, firmly reject the proposal, emphasizing Greenland's sovereignty and self-determination. Talks between US, Danish, and Greenlandic officials ended with fundamental disagreements, though a high-level working group was established to explore security cooperation. European countries have deployed troops to Greenland in a show of support for Denmark, while Russia criticizes Western actions as double standards. US lawmakers have sought to reassure allies and emphasize NATO unity amid tensions.
