US President Donald Trump has renewed calls for the United States to acquire Greenland, arguing that Denmark cannot adequately protect the strategically important island from foreign influence. After a tense meeting in Washington with Danish and Greenlandic officials, Trump maintained that the United States must take control of Greenland, even suggesting that force could be used if necessary. Danish and Greenlandic leaders firmly rejected the idea, calling it an unacceptable breach of sovereignty and emphasizing their commitment to remaining united. In response to rising tensions, Denmark, Greenland, and several European allies have increased their military presence on the island, while local leaders stress the importance of self-determination and unity with Denmark. Public opinion in the United States remains largely opposed to the idea of annexing Greenland, with most Americans rejecting the use of military force.
