United States President Donald Trump has renewed public statements about acquiring Greenland, saying the country may seek control of the Arctic territory “the hard way” if necessary. Trump emphasized the island’s strategic importance as rival powers increase their presence in the region. He said the United States could act to prevent Russia or China from gaining influence close to American borders.
Trump spoke about Greenland during a meeting with energy sector leaders, noting that the U.S. would prefer a negotiated arrangement but was prepared to act differently if negotiations fail. He questioned Denmark’s sovereign claim over Greenland and suggested that ownership, rather than military access through existing agreements, would allow the United States to more effectively defend the territory.
Greenland is an autonomous territory that remains part of the Kingdom of Denmark. Danish leaders have publicly rejected U.S. proposals and have warned that any unilateral action could undermine diplomatic and military cooperation with allies.
Trump’s renewed focus on Greenland comes amid broader discussions of national security and global competition for influence in the Arctic. The ice‑covered island is seen as strategically valuable due to its location between North America and Europe and its proximity to potential Arctic shipping routes.
