Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen said U.S. President Donald Trump still aims to control the Arctic island. Nielsen made the remarks on Monday. He added this is despite Trump having ruled out using military force. The Prime Minister warned that Washington’s fundamental objective remains control over Greenland. The comments come amid increasing global interest in the Arctic region. The area is seen as strategically important due to its natural resources and location. Nielsen’s statement highlights continuing geopolitical tensions related to Greenland.
The Trump administration previously showed interest in purchasing Greenland, sparking controversy. However, the United States officially declared it would not use force to gain control. Negotiations and diplomacy appear to be the current approach. Meanwhile, Greenland continues to assert its autonomy and control over local affairs. The situation reflects wider global attention on Arctic sovereignty and security challenges.
Arctic control involves strategic interests for nations, influencing global resource access and security policies.
