In a recent meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, U.S. President Donald Trump once again expressed his intention to annex Greenland, a territory belonging to Denmark. This statement has reignited debates over the island’s sovereignty and the geopolitical implications of such a move.

During the meeting, Trump questioned the legitimacy of Denmark’s claim to Greenland, stating that the European country is “extremely distant” from the island. “A ship arrived there 200 years ago or something like that. They say they have rights to the territory,” commented the U.S. leader. Despite his claims, Greenland remains an integral part of the Kingdom of Denmark.

Trump also suggested the possibility of sending U.S. troops to Greenland, noting that there is already a military presence on the island. “It’s possible that more and more military personnel will be moving there,” he added.

When asked about the potential annexation, Trump appeared optimistic, stating that he is confident it “will happen” and that it would benefit “international security.”

The U.S. president emphasized the importance of his relationship with Rutte, suggesting it could be key to advancing his plans. This meeting comes amid rising tensions, as Greenland recently held elections amidst rumors of U.S. interest in acquiring the territory—a topic that has shifted from being a joke to a real aspiration.

Donald Trump’s statements on Greenland highlight a significant shift in U.S. foreign policy and raise questions about international dynamics in the region. As relations between the United States and Denmark evolve, the future of Greenland remains uncertain and a subject of ongoing debate.
