Trump Reiterates Desire to Annex Greenland, Citing Security Concerns

During a meeting with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, President Trump expressed confidence in the U.S. acquiring the Danish territory, despite opposition from Denmark and Greenland.

President Donald Trump stated he believes the United States will eventually annex Greenland, calling it essential for international security.
Trump made the comments during an Oval Office meeting with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, who distanced NATO from the discussion of Greenland's status.
Rutte acknowledged the strategic importance of the Arctic region but emphasized that NATO would not involve itself in Greenland-related matters.
Greenland recently held legislative elections, with the center-right Demokraatik party, which supports a gradual path to independence from Denmark, winning the majority.
Denmark and Greenland’s governments have repeatedly stated that the territory is not for sale, rejecting Trump’s previous and ongoing annexation proposals.
