“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.”

“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 US Take Over Greenland?

"We already secured military access via the 1951 Defense Agreement—making force both illegal and strategically redundant."

"There is an agreement from 1950 that allows the US to have as many American bases they want in Greenland."

"There is a 31% chance that Trump and Greenland will sign a deal by December 31st, 2026."

"There is an ongoing diplomatic track with the United States."

"We are ready to negotiate a better partnership and so on, but sovereignty is a red line."

"There is a 55% chance that the US will reach a diplomatic agreement with Denmark and Greenland."

"A revised defense agreement may also be proposed – largely symbolic, but offering Trump a visible ‘win’ that could cool things off.”

“The door is already wide open... the U.S. has an open invitation to increase the size of its military base and potentially have other military bases there.”

"I have no doubt we can do this quite fast. Certainly I would hope for 2026, I hope even early in 2026."

“It’s really being negotiated now, the details of it, but essentially it’s total access. There’s no end, there’s no time limit.”

Will the US Sign a Formal Agreement Granting Expanded Military Access or Basing Rights in Greenland?

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen secured a third consecutive term on June 1, informing King Frederik X aboard the Royal Ship Dannebrog in Odense that a four-party center-left minority coalition government had been formed after more than two months of negotiations.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen secured a third consecutive term on June 1, informing King Frederik X aboard the Royal Ship Dannebrog in Odense that a four-party center-left minority coalition government had been formed after more than two months of negotiations.

The coalition brings together the Social Democrats, the Socialist People's Party, the Social Liberals and the centrist Moderates, holding 82 of 179 seats in parliament — eight short of a majority — and is expected to rely primarily on the Red-Green Alliance for legislative support.

The March 24 parliamentary election produced no clear majority, with Frederiksen's Social Democrats winning 38 seats, down from 50 — the party's worst result since 1903. Twelve parties won seats in the Folketing, leaving the left-wing bloc with 84 seats against 77 for the right.

Coalition talks lasted more than ten weeks, the longest in Denmark's history. Liberal leader Troels Lund Poulsen had attempted to form a rival government before that effort collapsed, clearing the way for Frederiksen to secure sufficient backing.

The new government faces immediate challenges including diplomatic tensions with the United States over Greenland and pressure to increase defense spending as European nations respond to Russia's war in Ukraine. Frederiksen said the coalition's policy program would be presented Tuesday, with cabinet names to be announced Wednesday.

Moderates leader and former Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen, whose party holds 14 seats, played a central role in the negotiations, holding talks with both political blocs before backing the left-leaning coalition.
