U.S. President Donald Trump declared that anything less than Greenland being “in the hands” of the United States is “unacceptable,” reigniting his controversial push to gain control over the strategic, resource-rich Arctic territory. Trump argued Greenland is vital for U.S. national security and said NATO should lead efforts to secure it, warning that Russia or China might otherwise gain influence. The remarks came just hours before White House talks hosted by Vice-President JD Vance with Danish and Greenlandic officials amid firm Danish and Greenlandic rejection of U.S. ownership and concerns over sovereignty and transatlantic relations.
