Donald Trump reiterates claim Greenland will be under U.S. control by 2029
U.S. President Donald Trump posted a photograph on his Truth Social platform with the caption “Hello, Greenland,” restating his long‑standing claim that the Arctic island will be under United States operational control by the time he leaves office in January 2029. He argues the island is strategically vital for U.S. security against China and Russia and has previously threatened a 10 percent tariff on European goods, including those from Denmark, unless a purchase deal is reached. The European Union and NATO have repeatedly rejected the proposal and defended Greenland’s sovereignty. Greenland’s prime minister Jens‑Frederik Nielsen responded on Facebook, emphasizing that Greenland is not for sale and urging respect for the territory’s integrity, international law and the right to self‑determination. Prediction‑market odds place the chance of a U.S. acquisition before 2027 at roughly 4‑7 percent.
