Trump Revives Greenland Purchase Idea, Promises to “Make US and NATO Very Happy”
Former US President Donald Trump has renewed his interest in buying Greenland, suggesting he could “work out something” beneficial for both the United States and NATO.
Key Details
- Trump expressed his interest in an interview with Fox News, calling Greenland “a beautiful place.”
- This is not a new proposal; he first floated the idea in 2019, which Denmark swiftly rejected as “absurd.”
- The renewed push comes amid heightened competition with Russia and China.
Strategic Arctic Interest
The former president’s comments highlight the growing geopolitical significance of the Arctic. Russia and China have been expanding their presence in the region, making Greenland’s strategic location and vast natural resources a key point of interest for major global powers.

No Deal Structure, But Claims of Mutual Benefit
While Trump did not provide any specific details on how a potential purchase would be structured, he suggested it would benefit all parties, including bolstering security interests in the North Atlantic.
Official Stance Remains Unchanged
As of now, Denmark has not responded to Trump’s latest remarks. The government of Greenland has consistently and firmly maintained its position: the island is not for sale.
