Donald Trump insists the US must "own" Greenland to counter Chinese influence, threatening to take the territory "the hard way" if Denmark refuses to sell.

President Donald Trump has escalated his diplomatic feud with Denmark, declaring bluntly that the United States needs to "own" Greenland to secure the Arctic against Russian and Chinese encroachment.
Speaking to the BBC, Trump dismissed the idea of leases or treaties. "You don't defend leases. You defend ownership," he stated, framing the acquisition of the world's largest island as a national security imperative. The comments have sent shockwaves through Copenhagen and Nuuk, where locals view the idea as a colonial relic.
Trump’s obsession with Greenland isn't random. As the Arctic ice melts, new shipping lanes and vast mineral deposits are becoming accessible. The US already operates the Thule Air Base (Pituffik) in Greenland, a critical node in its missile defense shield.
The standoff puts the US-Denmark alliance in the deep freeze. But with Trump in the White House, the unthinkable—a hostile takeover of an ally's territory—is no longer impossible.
