Trump Declines to Confirm Use of Force on Greenland
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump did not clarify whether he would consider using military force to take control of Greenland, a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark. In an exclusive interview with NBC News, Trump remained cautious when discussing the potential measures he might take regarding the island.
Trump emphasized that the United States is interested in Greenland because of its strategic location and natural resources. He suggested that discussions about acquisition or partnership could continue, but he avoided providing a clear answer about military involvement.
The president also highlighted the importance of protecting U.S. interests in the Arctic region. While he expressed strong interest in Greenland, he repeatedly stated that all options were “under consideration” without specifying concrete steps.
This latest comment follows a period of speculation after Trump publicly raised the idea of acquiring Greenland, drawing international attention and reactions from Danish officials. Denmark has previously stated that Greenland is not for sale, underscoring the sensitivity of the issue.
Experts say the conversation reflects broader U.S. strategic concerns in the Arctic, particularly regarding security, resource access, and geopolitical influence.
