Trump Administration Intensifies Push to Acquire Greenland Despite Local and International Resistance

The renewed U.S. effort includes financial incentives exceeding $600 million annually, but faces firm rejection from Greenlandic and Danish leaders, alongside global criticism.

The Trump administration has renewed efforts to acquire Greenland, citing national security and untapped mineral resources as key motivations.
Proposals now include annual payments exceeding $600 million, surpassing the subsidies Greenland currently receives from Denmark.
Greenlandic leaders and citizens, supported by Denmark, have strongly rejected the U.S. overtures, with public protests drawing thousands in Nuuk last month.
International criticism has escalated, with European leaders warning against any actions that could threaten sovereign borders.
Historical U.S. interest in Greenland dates back to WWII and Truman’s 1946 offer, but experts argue the current push could destabilize global relations.
