An aircraft carrying President Trump arrives in Nuuk, Greenland, on Jan 7, 2026
Press TV – Jan 7, 2026
The White House says President Donald Trump and his advisers are looking into “a range of options” in an effort to acquire Greenland and that using the US military to do so is “always an option”.
“President Trump has made it well known that acquiring Greenland is a national security priority of the United States, and it’s vital to deter our adversaries in the Arctic region,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement on Tuesday.
“The president and his team are discussing a range of options to pursue this important foreign policy goal.
“And of course, utilizing the US military is always an option at the commander-in-chief’s disposal,” she added, despite the island already hosting a US military base.
The statement comes after Trump said on Monday that Greenland’s annexation was imminent, insisting he wanted the Arctic territory “right now.”
His remarks have already raised alarm in Denmark, which is responsible for Greenland’s defense, especially given Washington’s recent military aggression against Venezuela, including the abduction of President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores.
In response, the leaders of France, Germany, Britain and several other countries joined Denmark’s prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, on Tuesday in calling on Washington to respect Danish sovereignty, while stressing that Arctic security is a key priority for NATO, which includes both the US and Greenland.
“NATO has made clear that the Arctic region is a priority and European Allies are stepping up. We and many other Allies have increased our presence, activities and investments, to keep the Arctic safe and to deter adversaries. The Kingdom of Denmark – including Greenland – is part of NATO,” they said in a joint statement.
“These are universal principles, and we will not stop defending them. The United States is an essential partner in this endeavor, as a NATO ally and through the defense agreement between the Kingdom of Denmark and the United States of 1951. Greenland belongs to its people. It is for Denmark and Greenland, and them only, to decide on matters concerning Denmark and Greenland,” it further stressed.

Frederiksen warned that a US attack on a NATO ally would mean the “end” of the military alliance and “post-second world war security,” calling it the end of “everything.”
Greenland’s prime minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, also urged Trump to abandon his “fantasies about annexation,” branding US rhetoric “completely and utterly unacceptable” and stressing that “Enough is enough.”
Trump renewed his push for a takeover after the overnight kidnapping of Maduro by US forces, saying he needed Greenland “very badly,” a move that sharply escalated tensions.
Greenland has repeatedly said it does not want to be part of the US, and even within the US the idea is unpopular, as only seven percent of Americans support a military seizure.
However, senior officials doubled down, with White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller claiming that Denmark lacks a right to the territory and insisted that “nobody is going to fight the United States militarily over the future of Greenland,” while his wife posted a US flag over a map of Greenland captioned “SOON.”
Behind closed doors, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio reportedly told lawmakers the administration would prefer to buy Greenland rather than invade it, even as Denmark and Greenland sought an “urgent” meeting to challenge US claims about Chinese and Russian influence.
It remains unclear whether Rubio was trying to calm lawmakers, but the Trump administration has long indicated it prefers to pressure Denmark into relinquishing control of Greenland, even as US and European officials say there is no evidence the White House is preparing a military invasion.
Danish officials rejected Trump’s remarks, with Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen saying, “We do not share this image that Greenland is plastered with Chinese investments … nor that there are Chinese warships up and down along Greenland.”
Danish Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen, for his part, dismissed claims that Denmark had added only “one more dog sled.”
While some US Republicans tried to downplay the threat, Democrats warned it was real, with Senator Ruben Gallego proposing a ban on funding military action and slamming Trump for wanting Greenland for a “giant island with his name on it.”
“He wouldn’t think twice about putting our troops in danger if it makes him feel big and strong. The US military is not a toy,” Gallego warned.
Trump claims that the US needs control of Greenland to secure the Arctic against what he alleges to be Russia and China’s influence, while also calling for expanded US government and corporate access to the island’s critical mineral resources.
Somebody recently referred to Trump as Atgolf Hitler. I like it.
LOL..
Yankees..
‘ Secretary of State Marco Rubio reportedly told lawmakers the administration would prefer to buy Greenland rather than invade it.’
hehe..says it all really…
I suppose the Yankee Yourope peon occupation is lol ‘goin’ rouge’…Now that the Empires soft war has dissolved what passed for western reality..
I suppose the Scandis could field a battalion of somalian explosive ex spurts and some African warlords..they could buy all the necessary weapons from the Israelis and Americans..
and mount them on skis…
By the way…
Norway is next…

Wow! Trump’s land-grabbing shamelessness is limitless. Now he’s talking about creating a ski piste for tourists on a mountain in Al Queda-ISIS occupied Syria.

Trump’s America has seized the unladen oil tanker in waters between Iceland and Ireland which was recently re-registered as Russian and for which Russia sent a diplomatic cable asking that it be left alone. RAF planes were involved. This lawless tangerine has got to be stopped somehow.

410.4K Followers1.6 million left-wing mothers just backed Reform
Keir Starmer is finished – Ann Widdecombe
Opinion by Ann Widdecombe •
In a situation where Reform has topped every major opinion poll for nearly a year, yet another poll showing yet another Reform win might not cause the smallest stir.
Yet the latest one promises to be something of a whirlwind, for it is Mumsnet which regularly shows a preference for Labour. With eight million followers and soft Left preferences, the result could be called seismic.
According to this poll, Reform is no longer the preserve of disaffected Conservatives and angry Red Wallers but is the party of preference for the nation’s mothers who want safety for their kids and migrants sent back
The message for Starmer is, of course, appalling,
Described as the biggest fake since yuri geller the biggest asshole since tony blair and the biggest liar since churchill
with yet another nail in the coffin of his abysmal leadership or rather lack of it. Yet that is probably not the main lesson of this poll, but the confirmation of the disillusionment with the political establishment and with the major parties , the lesson is the controlled parties are finished
Mumsnetters care about the NHS education and migrant criminals. They were apparently early indicators of the Brexit tendency. They make a reliable weather vane. And now they prefer the blokeish Nigel Farage to the asshole Keir Starmer.
After 14 years of Tory mess and confusion, they expected him to deliver something better and more hopeful, and he hasn’t, so they are looking elsewhere, just as everybody else seems to be doing.
when ever the government is up against the wall, they play the face card
and bring out the stephen lawrence thing
that puts the voters to sleep zzzz
I know. Despite what our puppet leaders do, let the sane and decent people of all nations declare war on the US, Israel and the Rothschild-controlled central bank system. Let the people put in governments who will unite against the US and leave them isolated and locked into their own chamber pot. Canada, the UK, the EU, should unite with other nations fed up with US plundering and impose extreme sanctions on the US, and use military force if necessary! NO! WE DO NOT NEED OR WANT AMERICAN SO-CALLED “PROTECTION”!
NATO is over. ZOG has taken full control. The Jew now controls all western nations (and quite a few non western thanks to the War on Terror). The thing, is, all of this is pantomime because all the above leaders, who are against an attack on Greenland are all part of the same club and just, well, talking heads, making the braindead public who voted for them, think they’re acting in their best interests. This was all planned, at least 100 years ago.
This entity to the south of us known as the United States of America(actually United Snakes of America), is completely out of control under Trump. I’m not saying Biden was better, probably worst. He rattled sabres as well – it’s the American thing to do. The security of the United States could have been guaranteed by simply negotiating – you know – actually talking intelligently to so-called adversaries like Russia and Iran. A further positive step could have been achieved by throwing off the cloak of Israeli control, starting with cancelling out AIPAC. The security of the Arctic is Canada’s domain. This retarded talk of acquiring Greenland as a “National Security priority” is just another name for old-time Imperialism. The U.S. should stay away from Greenland, and Greenlanders should reject the U.S. if they know what’s good for them. Greenland is Denmark’s domain, not another Venezuela.
ofcourse it has nothing to do with USA security concerns. It has all to do with the natural resources on the island. let the islanders decide whether they wished to be colonised by a foreign country or remain under Danish control.
And the price in dollars for island including natural resources? 2 billion? 100 billion? not worth it.
If anything let USA buy the island plus resources for gold billion with physical delivery to Denmark.
I would suggest 10,000 tons of gold for immediate delivery. They do not have it.
Direct military action is possible, but unlikely. It’s mostly just bluster as doing so would collapse NATO overnight. More likely is either the exerting of intolerable pressure (probably financial) on the Danish government, or the outright bribing of individual Danish politicians (the usual method). Another possibility is the bribing – already mooted – of the citizens of Greenland.
Greenland is part of North America rather than Europe and in reality looks like it’s if anything a part of Ohhhhh Canada / (Nunavut).
Iran, Venezuela, Greenland , China, Russia…
Crazy
This seems to be a sort of endgame.
with the US comes industry + comerz to greenland .
it will be no more green or white . it will become
grey + brown from comercial trash + dust . I think
same will be already problem on Marshall islands
(I never was there) .
No, you are ALL wrong – Greenland, just like Antarctica HAS to be TOTALLY off limits to protect the true nature of our realm. You can’t go to Antarctica- just try to organise a privately funded expedition..IMPOSSIBLE…and, like Antarctica is nothing like we have been led to believe, the ‘north pole’ is NOT what they tell us it is. The point of our realm that FOREVER sits directly below Polaris is NOT frozen wastes but a place of incredible importance to all humanity – the place of Mount Meru – the REAL BLACKROCK – the place from which our ocean tides come – the place thru which the BLACK SUN ‘fixes’ our two lights – Sun and Moon and cause the phases and eclipses – and visual effects like ‘northern lights’ ….we exist within a magical realm – the truth of which has been hidden for centuries. Greenland is to be forever locked away to prevent disclosure….thats all it is.
“Lawmakers of Murica” rather buy Greenland than invade it? That’s not the art of the deal Donny and his kosher puppeteers have in mind. Royal Denmark will “trade” Greenland for protection from almighty Don and the deal shall last 99 years and will be as certified as all other deals before in the history of A-murika. In TRUST we trust while the deal is made. Would long nosed merchants ever lie to Kingdoms of the world?
Sweet weepin’ Jesus on the cross…what a disgraceful shit show….
Harbinger is pretty much spot on in his comment above.
who is atgolf Hitler ?
It’s OK then for China to gather in Taiwan. The precedent is set. And who’s to stop them? The US? In their dreams.
Judge Nap speaking recently with Phil Giraldi said Trump wants to rename Greenland Trumpland.
Denmark should be thankful it hasn’t been stomped on like a bug!
Dem moe’s up in Greenland guhhhn kick yo ass back to hillbillyland shiiiiieeee
