Trump Renews Call to Annex Greenland, Calling It a Security Necessity
US President Donald Trump has renewed his call for the United States to take control of Greenland, describing it as an “absolute necessity” for national security reasons.
Trump’s remarks came after he announced the appointment of Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry as a special envoy to Greenland, reviving a controversial proposal that previously sparked widespread debate.
He emphasized Greenland’s strategic location and its growing importance amid global security challenges, arguing that a stronger US presence on the island would serve long-term American defense interests.
The renewed comments have drawn mixed reactions, as previous US calls to annex Greenland were firmly rejected by Denmark, which maintains sovereignty over the self-governing territory, while international observers continue to express concerns over the geopolitical implications of such a move.
