Trump Reiterates US Control Claim Over Greenland Amid NATO Summit Tensions
At the NATO summit in Turkey, US President Donald Trump reiterated that Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory, should be controlled by the United States rather than Denmark, citing its strategic importance amid Russian and Chinese activity in the Arctic. Trump linked this stance to strained US-NATO relations and criticized Denmark's investment in Greenland. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Greenland's leaders firmly rejected the proposal, affirming Greenland's sovereignty and that it is not for sale. US-Denmark discussions on the matter continue.
