Trump Pushes for U.S. Control of Greenland, Citing Security Concerns

President Donald Trump has told NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte that U.S. control of Greenland is essential for international security, escalating his efforts to annex the strategic Arctic island. The move underscores Washington’s growing interest in Greenland’s geopolitical and economic significance, particularly in countering Russian and Chinese influence in the Arctic.

Trump’s renewed push is expected to spark tensions with Denmark, which governs Greenland, and raise broader diplomatic concerns.
