Trump says Denmark will agree to Greenland deal
U.S. President Donald Trump believes Denmark will agree to a possible sale of Greenland, vital for international security. While not mentioned in his inaugural address, he later indicated the importance of the region due to the presence of Russian and Chinese military ships and suggested that Denmark cannot ensure the necessary security. Previously, Trump had hinted at using military force to take control of Greenland. This stance was later softened by Vice President J.D. Vance. Greenland’s government leader, Múte B. Egede, and Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, have consistently rejected the idea that Greenland is for sale. Trump has warned of tariffs on Danish goods if Denmark doesn’t support his ambitions, amidst a more tense geopolitical climate defined by the war in Ukraine and heightened Arctic security concerns.
