U.S. President Donald Trump reiterated his controversial push to assert American control over Greenland, an autonomous Danish Arctic territory, saying the United States will act “the easy way or the hard way” if necessary to secure it. Trump claims Greenland’s strategic location and mineral wealth are vital to U.S. national security and insists that without action, Russia or China could gain influence there. His remarks, made at the White House, suggested both diplomatic and tougher options for acquisition. Denmark and Greenland have strongly opposed any transfer of sovereignty, warning such moves could harm NATO ties and violate international law.
