US President Donald Trump believes that the United States will gain control over the island of Greenland.
He said this in during a conversation with journalists on board Air Force One, writes the BBC.
“I think we're going to get Greenland because it's about freedom in the world,” Trump told reporters, adding that “57,000 people on the island want to be with us.”
According to Trump, “it would be a very unfriendly act for Denmark not to allow the United States to take over Greenland.”
“The United States has nothing to do with it, except that we can provide freedom. They (Denmark – ed.) can't,” Trump added.

In December 2024, Donald Trump said that “ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity.” Trump threatened to take away the Panama Canal and buy Greenland for the sake of U.S. national security. He had expressed interest in buying the island during his first term as president. Trump refused to rule out the possibility of using military action to control Greenland.
Following Trump's statement, Denmark decided to significantly increase its defense spending on Greenland and also changed the royal coat of arms.
Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lykke Rasmussen ruled out the possibility of Greenland becoming a subject of the United States. True, Denmark is not going to sell anything and it does not need the money.
