Greenland

Greenland has clear “red lines” it will not cross in talks over its future with the US, the island’s prime minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, has said.

US President Donald Trump says “he won’t use force” to acquire Greenland at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Switzerland, but that the US would be “unstoppable” in armed conflict with Europe over the island.

In a joint press conference with his French counterpart, the German Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil warned that "Europe is ready to respond to US President Donald Trump's threat of imposing tariffs.

The American media outlet, by examining the recent escalating tensions between America under Donald Trump's leadership and its European allies, argues that Trump's recent threats to annex Greenland and impose punitive tariffs against those who obstruct this annexation have acted as "the final blow" to U.S.-Europe relations and the beginning of an inevitable "separation" between the parties.

Thousands of people in Greenland and Denmark have protested against plans by US President Donald Trump to take over Greenland - an autonomous Danish territory.

A bipartisan US Congressional delegation Saturday sought to reassure Denmark and Greenland of their support following President Donald Trump’s threat to punish countries with tariffs if they don’t back capturing the island.

Greenland wants to be a part of Denmark, not the US, Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen said.

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”.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio told US lawmakers that President Donald Trump wants to buy Greenland from Denmark rather than take the Arctic island by military means, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.

A group of European leaders have issued a joint statement defending Greenland as part of Denmark and calling on the US to uphold the NATO state’s territorial integrity.

The island “should” belong to the US and no one can stop its annexation, Stephen Miller has said.

Denmark’s prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, has urged Washington to stop threatening a “historically close ally,” after President Donald Trump suggested Copenhagen cannot properly manage and protect the island from Russian and Chinese threats. Greenland is an autonomous territory within Denmark.
