U.S. President Donald Trump reiterated his desire for the United States to acquire Greenland at the World Economic Forum, insisting on full ownership, title, and control of the territory.
Trump described Greenland as a “piece of ice, cold and poorly located” but strategically important for U.S. interests. He claimed that Greenland is part of North America and that no other nation is capable of securing it as effectively as the U.S.
Trump ruled out the use of military force but threatened tariffs on Denmark and other European allies if negotiations fail, escalating trade tensions and risking disruption to existing U.S.–EU trade agreements.
European leaders, including the EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and French President Emmanuel Macron, rejected the pressure, warning of a proportional response to any tariffs.
