Trump is still obsessed with Greenland. The president’s latest trick is to threaten Europe with it additional tariffs until it sells Greenland to the United States. The problem is that Denmark will never sell Greenland to the United States, and they are already offering the US everything they want in Greenland.
The Trump administration continues to advance the false idea that Greenland is essential to U.S. national security. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on NBC’s Meet The Press:
If we look for years, American presidents have wanted to acquire Greenland for more than a century. And what we can see is that Greenland is essential to US national security – we are building the golden dome, the missile system. And look, President Trump is being strategic. He looks beyond this year. He’s looking beyond next year to what could happen for a battle in the Arctic. We are not going to outsource our national security.
We are not going to outsource our hemispheric security to other countries. In Trump 1.0, President Trump told the Europeans: “Don’t build Nord Stream 2. Don’t rely on Russian oil.” And guess what, Kristen? Guess what is financing Russia’s efforts against Ukraine? European purchases of Russian oil. So America needs to be in control here.
If the United States needs Greenland for national security, then America is in big trouble.
The pretext of national security is nonsense that is not supported by the intelligence community.
The real security threat to Greenland is not Russia or China.
It’s Donald Trump.
