President Donald Trump says the United States needs Greenland "for defence." His adviser, Stephen Miller, went further, questioning Denmark's claim to the territory and stating, "obviously Greenland should be part of the United States."

This expansionist talk has caused concern. Some hope it is merely a distraction from other issues, like Venezuela. Others question if the NATO alliance would stop U.S. aggression toward an ally like Denmark.
