In early March 2025, President Donald Trump reignited a controversial ambition by expressing a renewed interest in acquiring Greenland during his address to Congress. This declaration was met with swift and unequivocal rejection from Greenland’s leadership, underscoring the island’s firm stance on maintaining its sovereignty.
Trump’s Renewed Interest in Greenland

“We strongly support your right to determine your own future, and if you choose, we welcome you into the United States of America. We need Greenland for national security and even international security, and we’re working with everybody involved to try and get it.”
