Since returning to office in January 2025, Trump has escalated rhetoric about the United States potentially annexing Greenland, an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark. He has argued that the Arctic island is critical for U.S. security given the threats posed by Russia and China, and the White House has declined to rule out using the military to acquire Greenland.
Trump’s posture toward Greenland has drawn backlash on the global stage, as European allies view his position as a threat to the island’s sovereignty. Some European countries have sent troops to Greenland, while Trump has threatened to enact tariffs against European countries that oppose the U.S.’s efforts to take control of the territory.
