US EditionUS negotiating 'total access' to Greenland, Trump tells Maria Bartiromo
The U.S. aims to secure permanent military and strategic access to Greenland to counter China and Russia, with a new framework announced at the World Economic Forum.
- At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland , President Donald Trump announced a 'framework' for a Greenland deal, and the White House insisted it was a major win with details forthcoming.
- Weeks of pressure and threats prompted Trump, MAGA influencers, and senior administration aides to circulate ownership narratives including a 'SOON' Greenland image before Davos discussions.
- Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said Thursday the U.S. claim of owning 'small pockets of land' is false, Greenland's Jens-Frederik Nielsen said sovereignty 'cannot be discussed,' and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said Greenland never came up with Trump Wednesday.
- The diplomatic fallout included the European Parliament halting a U.S.-EU trade deal on Wednesday and European leaders and ministers publicly criticizing the U.S., further straining trans‑Atlantic ties.
- A treaty with Denmark already gives the United States military access to Greenland, which hosted multiple Cold War bases, while officials cite Russia and China as Arctic security concerns.

6 things to know about Trump’s obsession with Greenland
President Donald Trump’s quest to control Greenland is driving the news — and this time, it’s not a punchline. Trump has backed off threats of using force to take the island in favor of what he calls a framework that will give the U.S. access to the island. And on Friday, Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said the situation is still “serious” adding that the Scandinavian nation has “a path that we are in the process of trying with the A…
