The Trump administration is discussing plans to acquire Greenland, including military options.

According to CCTV News, on January 6 local time, a senior US official stated that President Trump and his team are discussing various plans to acquire Greenland, including purchasing the territory from Denmark, establishing a free association agreement with Greenland, and military means are also listed as one of the options. The official said that Trump hopes to complete the acquisition of Greenland within his current term, and stated that this issue "will not go away." The White House regards the acquisition of Greenland as a national security priority, and despite opposition from some NATO leaders, Trump is actively seeking to reach an agreement. Earlier that day, according to CCTV News, on January 6 local time, the foreign ministers of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden issued a joint statement: The statement said that as Nordic, Arctic countries and NATO allies, the five countries are jointly committed to maintaining the security, stability, and cooperation of the Arctic region, have taken all measures to strengthen deterrence and defense in the region, and support NATO in strengthening its presence and vigilance in the area. The statement pointed out that the foundation of Arctic security is respect for the United Nations Charter and the fundamental principles of international law, including the principle of the inviolability of borders. The Kingdom of Denmark (including Greenland) is a founding member of NATO and has historically cooperated closely with the United States in Arctic security. The 1951 Defense Agreement provides an opportunity for security cooperation. The statement reaffirmed that matters involving Denmark and Greenland should be decided by Denmark and Greenland themselves.
