US EditionUS discussing options to acquire Greenland, including use of military, says White House
The White House labels Greenland a national security priority amid Arctic rivalry with Russia and China and warns military options remain open, officials said.
- On Tuesday, the White House confirmed President Donald Trump and his team are exploring ways to acquire Greenland, including that utilising the U.S. military is always an option.
- Strategically, Greenland sits in the Arctic with vital U.S. defense roles, and officials cite Russia and China’s naval presence plus mineral resources as key motivations for control.
- One option described was an outright purchase from the Kingdom of Denmark, while a Compact of Free Association with Greenland was proposed, and diplomacy led by Jeff Landry remains active.
- European leaders including Sir Keir Starmer rallied behind the Kingdom of Denmark and Greenland government, while Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen warned, "If the United States chooses to attack another NATO country militarily, then everything stops".
- Following a weekend raid in Venezuela, the administration has courted Greenland's pro-independence movement, while legal limits require U.S. Congress approval for troop deployments beyond 60 days.
