US will get Greenland ‘one way or the other’, Trump says

Donald Trump has urged Greenland to join the United States, a proposal swiftly rejected by Denmark. Trump stated he would pursue acquiring the Danish-ruled island "one way or the other," reiterating his expansionist vision for the U.S.

Denmark's Defence Minister firmly stated that Greenland's future direction will be decided by Greenlanders themselves. Trump's remarks, made a week before Greenland's general elections, highlight his interest in the strategically important and mineral-rich island, despite its autonomous status and existing independence movement.
