Greenland rejects US takeover under ‘any circumstance’
AI Summary
In January 2026, the government of Greenland rejected the United States' renewed interest in a takeover of the territory "under any circumstance." The self-governed Danish territory emphasized its NATO membership, stating that its defense falls under the transatlantic alliance. These statements came in response to continued threats from U.S. President Donald Trump, who insists on bringing Greenland under U.S. control, citing concerns about Russian and Chinese influence in the Arctic. Trump's threats have sparked outrage from European allies, who have expressed support for Greenland and Denmark and warned of repercussions for U.S.-Europe relations. Despite offers of increased security cooperation in the Arctic, Trump maintains that the U.S. must "own" Greenland.
