US President Donald Trump has again called for the US to take over Greenland, saying the island is "so strategic" from a national security view. Trump raised the demand after a US raid in Venezuela and claimed Russian and Chinese ships are everywhere around Greenland. Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens Frederik Nielsen said, "that's enough now" and called the idea a "fantasy." Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen stated, "the US has no right to annex any of the three nations in the Danish kingdom." Trump first offered to buy Greenland in 2019, but Denmark refused, saying it’s not for sale. He revived the idea after returning to office in 2025 and has not ruled out using force. Greenland is the world’s largest island in the Arctic, mostly ice-covered and home to about 56,000 people, mainly Inuit. Its economy relies on fishing and Danish subsidies, but there is growing interest in its minerals like uranium and rare earths. Trump says the US wants Greenland for security, not minerals. The island is crucial for US defense because missiles from Russia would likely fly over it. The US operates the Pituffik Space Base in Greenland under a 1951 agreement with Denmark. Greenland has been under Danish control for 300 years but gained home rule in 1979. Despite talks of independence, Greenlanders strongly reject becoming part of the US. Prime Minister Nielsen said in 2026: "No more pressure. No more insinuations. No more fantasies of annexation." Locals also voiced opposition, feeling like Trump's plan treats them as goods to be bought. The island’s leaders demand respect and proper legal process for any discussions.
