Trump Renews Push to Acquire Greenland, Vows to Get It ‘One Way or the Other’

U.S. President Donald Trump has reignited controversy over his longstanding desire to acquire Greenland, declaring in a March 4 address to Congress that the island is essential for "international world security" and promising to obtain it “one way or the other.” The remarks followed a January visit to Nuuk by his son, Donald Trump Jr., and came despite repeated rejections from Danish and Greenlandic leaders. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen reiterated that Greenland is "not for sale," stressing Danish sovereignty and European support. Greenland’s Prime Minister Mute Egede called for unity among Greenlanders amid growing international attention.
