The United States has expressed interest in potentially using military force to acquire Greenland, a territory of Denmark, citing national security concerns amid rising tensions in the Arctic. European leaders, including those from France, Germany, and the UK, have rallied around Denmark, emphasizing Greenland’s right to self-determination and rejecting claims of its vulnerability to foreign influence. Greenland’s government seeks respectful dialogue with the US, while Danish officials refute the assertion that they cannot protect the island. Amidst these tensions, US officials have indicated that any acquisition would involve negotiations rather than immediate military action.
