Trump asserts acquiring Greenland ‘one way or the other’

U.S. President Donald Trump said the United States would acquire Greenland “one way or the other,” insisting he was seeking full ownership rather than leasing or limited arrangements, and arguing that maintaining military bases there was not enough. He claimed Greenland is vital for U.S. national security and suggested that Russia or China would move in if the U.S. did not, though he offered no evidence. Trump also said any impact on NATO would be secondary, repeating doubts about whether allies would support the United States if needed. His claims were quickly challenged by Nordic diplomats and Norway’s foreign minister, who said NATO intelligence shows little to no Russian or Chinese military activity around Greenland, directly contradicting Trump’s statements.
