Trump on how far he's willing to go to get Greenland: 'You'll find out'

President Trump links Greenland acquisition to U.S. national security and Arctic threats, warning of tariffs on European allies and refusing to rule out military action, amid diplomatic tensions.

  • On Jan. 20, 2026, President Donald Trump declined to detail how far he'd go to acquire Greenland, replying `You'll find out` during a nearly two-hour White House briefing before Davos.
  • Citing Arctic threats from Russia and China, President Donald Trump says the US needs Greenland for strategic and national security reasons, linking the push to last year’s Nobel Peace Prize snub and amplifying it on social media.
  • Trump has threatened 10% tariffs from February 1 on Britain and European allies and refused to rule out military force, using emergency tariffs and AI images as pressure.
  • Denmark cautioned that NATO could be endangered by a U.S. takeover push, while European leaders warned they would retaliate if Trump imposed tariffs and No 10 criticized the threats as wrong.
  • Greenland's residents oppose U.S. rule and say they do not want to be governed by the US, and the island is home to around 58,000 people.
