"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?

“The United States has once again reiterated its desire to take over Greenland. This is something that the governing coalition in Greenland cannot accept under any circumstance.”

“Greenland does not want to be governed by the United States. Greenland does not want to be part of the United States.”

“We don’t want to be Americans, we don’t want to be Danish, we want to be Greenlanders. The future of Greenland must be decided by Greenlanders.”

“I foresee no fighting, nothing like we saw in Venezuela.”

The Trump administration “would perhaps be more likely to pursue any takeover through political and disinformation means."

“Since the successful intervention in Venezuela immediately was followed with threats of using force against Greenland, among others in the hemisphere, it has in the short run, made it more likely.”

“Unfortunately, I think the American president should be taken seriously when he says he wants Greenland.”

“If you look at Trump’s pattern of behaviour, how willing he is to use military force when you can do it on the cheap and get away with it … the fact that … it could be portrayed as another pinprick operation, tells you there’s a really good chance that he could take Greenland.”

“Greenland is not a distant outpost we can afford to ignore—it is a vital national security asset.”

"We’re going to be doing something with Greenland, either the nice way or the more difficult way.”

Will the U.S. Take Over Greenland?

President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that he had formed the framework of a future deal with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte regarding Greenland and the Arctic region, stating he would not impose tariffs scheduled for February 1.

Trump told the World Economic Forum in Davos that the US would not use military force to acquire Greenland, saying "I don't have to use force. I don't want to use force. I won't use force," while still seeking immediate negotiations for acquisition.

Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lkke Rasmussen said the day ended better than it started and expressed willingness to address American security concerns in the Arctic while respecting Denmark's red lines regarding sovereignty.

A NATO spokesperson stated that negotiations between Denmark, Greenland and the United States would focus on ensuring Russia and China never gain a foothold economically or militarily in Greenland through collective efforts of allies.

The European Parliament suspended work on ratifying the July 2025 trade deal with the US following Trump's tariff threats, with trade committee chairman Bernd Lange stating business as usual was impossible while sovereignty was at stake.
