"I can guarantee you that there is no way we [the Danish parliament] would approve independence so that you [the US] could buy Greenland."

"This idea [the US buying Greenland] remains as ludicrous as it was in 2019."

"Greenland is not for sale."

"[T]he Greenlanders would be unlikely to sell [their territory]."

"I don't see anything in the future that would pave the way for a sale [of Greenland]."

"If we [the US] offered all 59,000 people [of Greenland] $2 million each, we could buy Greenland for $118 billion."

"I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility that he [Trump] could do a direct purchase [for Greenland]."

"[T]he idea of the US buying Greenland "isn't as mad as it sounds."

"I actually think that the United States might make some sort of purchase."

"I'm sure that Denmark will come along [and sell Greenland]."

Will the US Buy Greenland?

Denmark announced it would increase its military presence in and around Greenland, deploying aircraft, naval vessels and soldiers, including forces from NATO allies. Sweden also confirmed it was sending military officers to Greenland at Denmark's request as part of allied military exercises.

A Danish intelligence report published last month, which Trump cited in his post, warned that Russia, China and the U.S have diverging interests in the Arctic, with all three countries seeking to play a greater role in the region.

Trump's imperial threats toward Greenland represent a reckless destabilization of Arctic cooperation that has shattered decades of diplomatic progress. His scorched-earth approach has done more damage to regional security than Russia or China could have dreamed of, undermining Indigenous sovereignty and NATO alliances alike. The Arctic's future depends on respecting Greenlandic self-determination, not treating the island as real estate to plunder for minerals.

NATO should support America's acquisition of Greenland because the alliance would be far more formidable with the territory under U.S. control. Greenland is essential for the Golden Dome missile defense system and protecting against Russian and Chinese military threats in the Arctic. Denmark's weak military presence  —  two dogsleds won't cut it  —  proves only the USA can properly defend this strategically vital territory.
