Trump Repeats Greenland Desire, Denmark Warns of Alliance Ruin

Denmark's prime minister issued a sharp warning to the United States on Monday. She stated that any American attempt to seize Greenland would devastate decades of security cooperation. The statement came after President Donald Trump again expressed interest in annexing the Arctic island. Greenland is a vast, mineral-rich territory that belongs to Denmark but governs itself. The Danish leader said such an action would "destroy" transatlantic ties built over 80 years. The alliance is a cornerstone of European and U.S. defense. Trump first publicly suggested buying Greenland in 2019. The idea was swiftly rejected by Denmark and widely dismissed. His renewed comments have drawn a formal diplomatic response.
