US EditionReport: Trump Orders Generals to Draft Greenland Invasion Plan
Trump claims U.S. must secure Greenland to block Russian and Chinese influence, with 85% of Greenlanders opposing U.S. ownership, according to a 2025 poll.
- At a White House availability, President Donald Trump said the U.S. will seize Greenland, preferring a deal but warning of force while meeting oil and gas executives.
- Framing the move as a security priority, Trump said Greenland's Arctic strategic location and about 31 billion barrels of oil make it crucial to block Russia and China influence.
- In blunt comments to reporters, Trump said `And by the way, we don't want Russia or China going to Greenland`, and reports say officials discussed $10,000 to $100,000 payments to persuade Greenlanders.
- Denmark and NATO officials responded that Greenland is `not for sale`, while Greenlandic political parties declared the future must be decided by Greenlanders, rejecting U.S. control.
- Observers note Trump revived the topic in recent weeks after the U.S. operation in Venezuela, while polling underlines that 85 per cent of Greenlanders reject joining the U.S. amid July 4th timing questions.
