AI Summary

medium article 2 min

In December 2025, US President Donald Trump renewed his efforts to acquire Greenland, citing national security concerns. He appointed Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry as a special envoy to lead the acquisition efforts. Landry stated his intention to make Greenland "a part of the US," prompting protests from Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen, who affirmed Greenland's self-determination. Trump defended his pursuit, claiming Greenland is vital for US defense due to the presence of Russian and Chinese ships in the region. The Danish government has publicly rejected any possibility of Greenland being annexed by the United States.
