Trump Says U.S. Is Negotiating With NATO Over Greenland

The president frames the island as essential to U.S. security tied to the "Golden Dome" missile-defense project.

Overview

  • Speaking to reporters, Trump said NATO is "interacting with us on Greenland" and confirmed talks are underway.
  • Asked if the United States would leave the alliance if it fails to secure the island, he replied, "We'll see."
  • He argued that without Greenland the United States faces a "big hole" in national security, citing the "Golden Dome" program.
  • Earlier this month, the White House told Reuters that use of U.S. armed forces remains an option, and the press secretary said purchase discussions are active.
  • Authorities in Denmark and Greenland warned against any seizure, and EU member states discussed possible responses.
