SUMMARY
President Trump reiterated his interest in acquiring Greenland, emphasizing its strategic importance for international security. He expressed confidence that Denmark would eventually agree to sell the Arctic territory, citing its financial burden on Denmark and Greenlanders' dissatisfaction with Danish governance. Trump also mentioned his son Donald Trump Jr.'s recent visit to Greenland, claiming positive feedback from local representatives. Denmark's Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen rejected the idea, stating that no country can take what it wants due to its size. Greenland’s Prime Minister Múte Egede affirmed the island's autonomy, asserting that Greenland is "not for sale" but open to business partnerships with the U.S. Egede emphasized Greenland's identity and its commitment to NATO and U.S. collaboration. Meanwhile, a Suffolk University/USA Today poll revealed that 53% of U.S. voters oppose the acquisition, highlighting divided opinions on the issue.
