chairwoman Donald Trump spoke about Greenland after the January 3 US operations in Venezuela. On Trump's orders, US armed forces captured Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro and his wife, flying them to the US. Trump hinted as US intervention, speaking to reporters from Mar-a-Lago.
“We need Greenland,” the president said. “We do need Greenland, absolutely...[It's] surrounded by Russia and Chinese ships,” he said. Trump said the US needed for ‘national security’.
This is not the first time Trump has spoken about Greenland. He earlier mentioned its strategic importance as well, prompting the US envoy to issue a clarification about the president's intent.
The envoy said the Trump administration isn't going to “go in there trying to conquer anybody" or try to "to take over anybody’s country.” However, this contradicted Trump's own statements.
Trump called repeatedly for U.S. Jurisdiction over Greenland during his presidential transition and in the early months of his second term. In March, Vice President JD Vance visited a remote U.S. Military base in Greenland and accused Denmark of under-investing there.
Katie Miller, the wife of Donald Trump's deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller made a recent post about Greenland which drew a sharp reaction from their administration.
She shared an image of Greenland adorned in the colors of the US state flag. Responding to Miller's actions, Denmark's ambassador to the United States, Jesper Møller Sørensen said "Just a friendly reminder about the US and the Kingdom of Denmark: We are close allies and should continue to work together as such. US security is also Greenland’s and Denmark’s security. Greenland is already part of NATO. The Kingdom of Denmark and the United States work together to ensure security in the Arctic. The Kingdom of Denmark has significantly boosted its Arctic security efforts - in 2025 alone, we committed USD 13,7 bn that can be used in the Arctic and North Atlantic. Because we take our joint security seriously. And yes, we expect full respect for the territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Denmark.”
