US says military ‘always an option’ in Greenland as Europe rejects threats
AI Summary
In January 2026, the US government, under President Trump, stated that acquiring Greenland is a national security priority and that military force is an option to achieve this goal. This renewed interest in Greenland follows the US abduction of Venezuelan President Maduro. Trump claims Greenland is vital to US security, alleging Russian and Chinese ships are present and Denmark cannot protect it. Greenland, a territory of Denmark, has repeatedly stated it does not want to be part of the US. The island's strategic location and mineral wealth are key factors in the US interest. The US pursuit of Greenland has been met with opposition from European leaders and Canada.
