Trump has repeatedly insisted he will settle for nothing less than ownership of Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark.

Donald Trump wants the United States to take over Greenland for its strategically vital resources, to bolster US security and give China a bloody nose.

EU ambassadors held an emergency meeting in Brussels on Sunday in response to Trump’s threat, which he made after an estimated quarter of the population of Greenland’s capital Nuuk joined protests against any potential annexation.

President Donald Trump threatens steep tariffs on European nations unless Denmark sells Greenland to the U.S., citing national defense and security.

Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Finland are casting a united front after Trump threatens tariffs.

Donald Trump is threatening to invade or buy Greenland to secure U.S. interests in the Arctic. The problem, according to foreign policy experts and Danish officials, is that America doesn’t need to do either.
