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 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 buy 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.
