Nigel Farage endorses Trump’s interest in acquiring Greenland at Davos, framing it as a strategic necessity against Russia and China while sparking a debate on sovereignty and resource wars.

The freezing air of Davos, Switzerland, was warmed today by a geopolitical absurdity that refuses to die. Nigel Farage, the Reform UK leader and disruptor-in-chief, has thrown his weight behind Donald Trump’s controversial desire to "buy" Greenland, arguing that an American takeover would make the world "more secure."
Speaking at the World Economic Forum—a gathering he openly despises as a club of "globalists"—Farage played the role of Trump’s European surrogate. While Trump himself has publicly ruled out a military invasion, opting instead for "immediate negotiations," Farage provided the ideological cover fire. "Strategically, I agree with him," Farage told a stunned panel. "If America controls the High North, we block Russia and China. It’s simple map-reading."
The context is surreal. President Trump has recently floated the idea of building a "Golden Dome" over parts of Greenland—a rhetorical flourish that has baffled scientists and diplomats alike. Yet, beneath the bluster lies a cold reality: the Arctic is the new frontier for rare earth minerals and shipping routes. Farage’s comments align with a growing right-wing consensus that sovereignty is secondary to strategic dominance.
However, Farage added a caveat, perhaps remembering his own "sovereignty" platform. "You must respect the rights of the Greenlanders," he added, a contradictory footnote to his endorsement of annexation. It captures the populist paradox: championing national self-determination for Britain while advocating imperial expansion for America.
As Farage holds court in the Swiss Alps, the message is clear: the populist wave is crashing against the icebergs. Whether it is a real policy or a distraction, the fact that the sale of a country is being debated at the world’s top economic forum shows just how much the rules of the game have changed.
