"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]."

"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.”

“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.”

"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?

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced Monday a 200 million euro ($232 million) partnership package for Greenland, signing an EU-Greenland declaration with Greenlandic Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen.

The funds, to be invested this year and in 2027, target what von der Leyen called "the big Cs": connectivity, clean energy and critical raw materials. Money is also earmarked for education, fisheries, housing, tourism and small businesses.

The two-day visit began Sunday in Nuuk, where von der Leyen said the package would be "substantial" without giving figures. She toured a fjord by boat, remarking on the effect of climate change on Greenland.

A longer-term proposal of up to 530 million euros ($615 million) in investments for the 2028-2034 period may also be signed, building on a 2015 agreement covering political ties, fisheries and renewable energy cooperation between Greenland and the EU.

Greenland left the EU in 1985, though its roughly 57,000 residents hold EU citizenship through Denmark. Separately, 11 NATO countries began the Arctic Shield exercises in Greenland on Monday with about 400 personnel and no U.S. troops.

Greenland's future belongs to Greenlanders and Danes, and nobody else gets a vote on it. The EU just backed that principle with 200 million euros in real investment for connectivity, clean energy and critical raw materials — not vague promises about security. Territorial integrity and the inviolability of borders aren't negotiable just because a bigger power wants an island.

Territorial integrity and the inviolability of borders aren't negotiable just because a bigger power wants an island.

Two hundred million euros is a modest check next to the pressure Greenland is actually facing, and a package spread over two years for tourism, housing and fisheries won't deter anyone circling the Arctic. Real deterrence looks like the troops and Arctic drills that finally forced a retreat from tariff threats. Hard security, not development funds, is what keeps the island out of play.

Brussels wants Greenland's minerals more than it wants Greenlanders' consent. The same critical-raw-materials playbook that sparked backlash elsewhere is now being run in the Arctic, dressed up as partnership. Money doesn't erase that Greenland was never asked to join this union. Call it what locals already do: a modern resource grab with better branding. Washington can offer real benefits, not hot air.
