Senior White House officials have indicated that military force remains a potential approach for obtaining control of Greenland, despite the territory belonging to NATO partner Denmark. Administration representatives declined to dismiss the possibility of armed intervention, with officials arguing that Denmark's sovereignty over the autonomous region could be challenged. These statements have generated significant concern among Danish leadership and within the Atlantic alliance regarding the unprecedented nature of such threats against a fellow NATO member.
Trump Administration Considers Military Action to Acquire Greenland
The Trump administration is actively exploring multiple strategies to acquire Greenland, including the potential use of military force, according to senior White House officials. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed Tuesday that the administration is discussing a "range of options" for obtaining the Danish territory, with military intervention remaining on the table.
Republican Congressman Ryan Zinke emphasized that "the president rarely rules out any option," while administration aide Stephen Miller questioned Denmark's right to claim the autonomous territory. Sources indicate the rhetoric has dramatically shifted from diplomatic discussions to more aggressive posturing, causing significant alarm among Danish officials and NATO allies.
The renewed focus on the Arctic territory follows Trump's longstanding interest in the strategically valuable region. However, reports suggest current U.S. military positioning in the area remains unchanged despite the escalating diplomatic tensions.
This development has created unprecedented strain within the NATO alliance, as Denmark scrambles to address what many view as coercive tactics from a key partner.
