Donald Trump Reaffirms Desire to Annex Greenland in Congressional Address

The U.S. president emphasized Greenland's strategic importance and extended an invitation to its people, while Denmark firmly rejected the proposal.

Donald Trump declared his intent to bring Greenland under U.S. control, citing international security needs, during his first policy address since returning to office.
The president stated that the U.S. supports Greenland's right to self-determination and promised wealth and security if it joins the United States.
Denmark's defense minister rejected Trump's remarks, reaffirming that Greenland's future lies in the hands of its population and dismissing the annexation as implausible.
Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory, is set to hold legislative elections on March 11, a development that could influence its political direction.
Trump also reiterated his administration's efforts to regain control of the Panama Canal, referencing a recent deal transferring two Chinese-held ports to American ownership.
