Trump Escalates Bid to Take Greenland, Says U.S. Will Act One Way or Another

Greenland’s self-rule law and NATO obligations pose steep legal and alliance hurdles to any U.S. move.

Overview

  • The White House says President Trump is actively weighing multiple paths to acquire Greenland and confirms the use of the U.S. military remains an option available to the commander in chief.
  • Leaders of all parties in Greenland’s parliament issued a joint statement rejecting annexation and insisting the island’s future must be decided by Greenlanders.
  • Denmark’s prime minister warned that any U.S. attack would collapse NATO, while European governments coordinate a joint response and France’s foreign minister urged Washington to stop coercive tactics.
  • U.S., Danish and Greenlandic officials met in Washington this week, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio set to meet Danish representatives next week as diplomatic contacts continue.
  • Press reports say the administration has discussed offering direct cash incentives to Greenland residents to support U.S. control, with figures cited but not confirmed by officials.
