US EditionHegseth says the Pentagon has contingency plans to invade Greenland if necessary
- On June 12, 2025, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told Congress he could not dismiss the possibility of the U.S. conducting future military operations involving Greenland and Panama.
- This statement follows longstanding concerns, including President Trump's repeated calls for Denmark to surrender Greenland and plans to counter Chinese influence in strategic locations.
- Earlier this week, the Danish Parliament passed a law permitting the establishment of additional U.S. military installations within Denmark, while Greenland’s prime minister has pledged to resist any attempts by the U.S. to assume control over the territory as the Pentagon plans to transfer Greenland’s defense oversight to U.S. Northern Command.
- During the hearing, Hegseth emphasized that the Pentagon is prepared with strategies for all possible scenarios but declined to provide detailed information despite repeated inquiries from both Democratic and Republican members.
- The remarks fueled debate over U.S. intentions, with officials emphasizing cooperation to secure Greenland from threats, but some lawmakers and Greenland representatives rejected any notion of sale or forced intervention.
