US President Donald Trump, who had not ruled out utilizing military force to get Greenland, believes its annexation will bolster national security in the Arctic region.
In a heated 45-minute telephonic conversation with Trump last week Danish PM Mette Frederiksen made it clear that the island was not for sale. Greenland’s PM Mute Egede stated that use of the territory’s land was Greenland’s business! It may recalled that Trump floated the idea of buying the mineral-rich, world’s largest island, in his first term as president in 2019.
Undaunted by the PMs’ remarks, Donald Trump, while talking to journalists in the Press room onboard Air Force One on 25th Jan, 2025 said he thought that US was going to have Greenland: “I don’t really know what claim Denmark has to it, but it would be a very unfriendly act if they didn’t allow that to happen because it’s for the protection of the free world.“
Maintaining that US control of Greenland was an absolute necessity for international security, President Donald Trump claimed that the fifty-seven thousand Greenlanders wanted to be with the United States of America. It is pertinent to mention though the Island is under Danish control for the last three centuries, US with bases and troops in it can take Greenland’s control.
Intelligence Agencies here have reported on 27th Aug, 2025 that Americans were being infiltrated in the Greenland society in order to promote its secession from Denmark to USA.
After receiving reports apropos US citizens who were involved in such covert activities, Chargé d’affaires was summoned to inform that no such conspiracy would be tolerated. Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen stated: “Any attempt to interfere in the internal affairs of the Kingdom [of Denmark] will of course be unacceptable.”
When Trump reiterated on 8th Jan, 2025 his desire to buy or seize Greenland using military force, PM Mute Egede made clear the territory was not for sale. While Denmark maintained that it belonged to its inhabitants, reacting to Trump’s refusal to rule out using military force to capture Greenland, French FM Jean-Noël Barrot held EU would not let other nations attack its borders.
PITUFFIK SPACE BASE (Greenland): US Vice-President JD Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance landed here on Friday (28th March, 2025) for a visit to military base.
Among others there were National Security Adviser Mike Waltz and Energy Secretary Chris Wright in his delegation. It is pertinent to mention here that the visit of Vance was not welcomed by the Copenhagen as his boss Trump has been talking about annexing the strategically placed Greenland maintaining that procurement of the island would augment the international and US security.
“We have to have it…I think the European Union understands it, and if they don’t – we’re going to have to explain it,” said Trump who never ruled out the possibility of the use of force. Meanwhile, Putin said, during an address to Russia’s Arctic Forum Murmansk that America’s plans in relation to Greenland were serious but it was a matter for two specific countries that has nothing to do with Russia.
Putin maintained that the plans of USA had profound historical racines: “And it’s clear that the US will continue to systematically pursue its geo-strategic, military-political and economic interests in the Аrctic.”
