Danish Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen has firmly dismissed President Donald Trump’s renewed attempt to acquire Greenland. Trump has repeatedly argued that the U.S. could manage the Arctic territory more efficiently, citing its strategic importance for global security. However, Nielsen stated that Greenland’s future would be determined by its people, not foreign interests.
The proposal has triggered diplomatic friction, with Greenland’s leadership now forming a coalition to resist external pressure. Trump’s push for Greenland mirrors his earlier 2019 attempt, which Denmark also rejected. Whether the U.S. will pursue alternative means to exert influence in the region remains an unfolding geopolitical issue.
