Trump reiterates ambition for US control over Greenland by 2029
US President Donald Trump has reiterated his ambition for the United States to gain control over Greenland before the end of his term in early 2029.
US President Donald Trump has renewed discussions regarding Greenland, suggesting during an interview on Real America's Voice that the United States could secure control over the territory before his presidential term ends in early 2029.
Trump underscored the strategic importance of the island to American security and defense interests, marking a return to rhetoric first raised during his previous administration. Greenland operates as an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark, holding jurisdiction over its internal affairs while Copenhagen manages defense and foreign policy.
Neither Greenlandic leaders nor Danish government representatives have issued formal statements addressing the latest comments.
