Trump Claims US Sovereignty Over Greenland Amid Geopolitical Tensions
President TRUMP asserted that Greenland will become part of the United States "whether they like it or not," framing the move as a strategic necessity. He cited increased military activity by Russia and China near the Arctic island as justification for uncompromising ownership.
The administration remains open to negotiations with Denmark but warned of alternative measures if diplomacy fails. "You defend ownership," Trump emphasized, dismissing the viability of long-term leasing arrangements for national security purposes.
