Donald Trump is adamant about acquiring Greenland, citing national security reasons despite opposition from Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Sir Keir Starmer. Trump insists on the necessity of Greenland for US defense and European security, rejecting any timeline for action. The Danish PM firmly states that the US has no right to annex Greenland, cautioning against threats to an ally, while former defense secretary Ben Wallace warns of severe consequences for NATO. Trump invokes the Donroe Doctrine to justify his actions, emphasizing American dominance in the Western Hemisphere. Despite US military presence in Greenland, its people resist a full American takeover, demonstrated by Vice President JD Vance’s unsuccessful visit last year.
