In January 2026, the possibility of a U.S. takeover of Greenland emerged, potentially disrupting U.S. foreign policy. According to the Atlantic Council's Melinda Haring, the U.S. interest stems from Greenland's rich resources, including rare earth minerals, gold, and oil. U.S. President Donald Trump has reportedly considered a military takeover of the island. Greenland is currently a territory of Denmark, which is also a member of NATO. This potential action by the U.S. could strain relations within the NATO alliance.
