‘Very Scary’: Greenland's Southeast Asian Migrants Caught in Trump’s Takeover Push
On Friday, President Donald Trump reaffirmed his goal of acquiring Greenland during an interview with Real America's Voice host Steve Gruber, who predicted the territory would come under U.S. operational control before the president leaves office.
Trump has long argued the United States must acquire the semi-autonomous Danish territory for national security, claiming adversaries like Russia and China would otherwise seize control; he previously threatened 10 percent tariffs on European goods to force a deal.
Earlier this month, the president posted a Truth Social photo showing a map of the Arctic island with an American flag superimposed over it, and he also re-upped his claims at the NATO summit last month.
Despite the president's persistence, prediction markets remain skeptical; Polymarket traders estimate a four percent chance of acquisition before 2027, while Kalshi data shows a 6.8 percent likelihood of the United States acquiring any new territory within that same period.
Longer-Term forecasts offer slightly higher odds, with a 22 percent chance that the United States will acquire a new territory before the president's term concludes on January 20, 2029, suggesting traders do not anticipate a near-term Greenland takeover.
