Trump Greenland Acquisition Options: White House Weighs Military Use
The White House confirms that Trump Greenland acquisition options include military force. Denmark and EU allies warn of a NATO collapse as the Arctic power struggle intensifies.
The Arctic is no longer a zone of cooperation. The White House confirmed that President Donald Trump is discussing a "range of options" to acquire Greenland, including the potential use of military force. Officials told the BBC that taking control of the territory—a semi-autonomous region of Denmark—is now a "national security priority."
Strategic Ambition: Trump Greenland Acquisition Options and NATO's Future
The statement dropped just hours after European leaders rallied behind Denmark. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen warned that any US aggression would spell the end of NATO. While Secretary of State Marco Rubio reportedly told lawmakers there are no immediate plans for an invasion, the administration hasn't ruled out using force if necessary to secure what Trump previously called a "large real estate deal."
Nobody's going to fight the US over the future of Greenland.
Geopolitical Stakes in the High North
This renewed push follows the recent US military intervention in Venezuela, where elite troops seized Nicolás Maduro. The Trump administration views Greenland's vast untapped rare earth deposits and strategic location as critical to counteracting Russia and China in the Arctic. However, the island's 57,000 residents are voicing terror, fearing they may be the next target of American expansionism.
