Trump claims Greenland control is important for global security
On Tuesday, US President Donald Trump emphasized the significance of US control over Greenland for the nation’s national security and global security. Trump also stated that he had a “good” discussion with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte regarding the Greenland issue. In a post on Truth Social, Trump stated, “I had a very good telephone call with Mark Rutte concerning Greenland.” I consented to a gathering of the different factions in Davos, Switzerland. As I conveyed to all very clearly, Greenland is crucial for both National and World Security. “There can be no going back — on that, everyone agrees!” Trump is scheduled to speak at the World Economic Forum 2026 meeting in Davos, Switzerland, tomorrow. He is expected to encounter various European leaders at the summit, including European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
Trump has consistently expressed worries regarding the presence of Russian and Chinese vessels in the area, stating that Denmark cannot address such a threat on its own and will ultimately require assistance from the US. “The United States of America is the most powerful country anywhere on the globe, by far.” The primary factor behind this is the reconstruction of our military during my initial term, a process that is now progressing at an even faster rate. We are the only power that can ensure peace throughout the world — and it is done, quite simply, through strength! He also shared a screenshot of a message from Rutte, in which the NATO chief remarked, “What you accomplished in Syria is incredible.” I will utilize my media engagements in Davos to emphasize your efforts in those regions, including Gaza and Ukraine. I am dedicated to discovering a path ahead regarding Greenland.”
“Don’t understand what you’re doing on Greenland,” Macron stated. In a separate screenshot released by the US President, his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron emphasized the need for a constructive discussion on the matter. “We are completely aligned on Syria.” We have the potential to achieve remarkable outcomes regarding Iran. I am unclear about your activities in Greenland. Let us endeavor to create remarkable initiatives: 1) I can arrange a G7 meeting following Davos in Paris on Thursday afternoon. I can invite the Ukrainians, the Danes, the Syrians, and the Russians on the margins. 2) Let us have dinner together in Paris on Thursday before you go back to the US,” Macron’s message read. Trump additionally shared two images implying complete dominance over Greenland. In a recent post, Trump shared an image on Truth Social depicting Canada, Greenland, and Venezuela as part of the US.
In a different image, Trump is depicted raising a US flag in Greenland, alongside a sign that states, “Greenland, US territory, established 2026.” In the image, Trump stands alongside Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Greenland holds significance due to its strategic location and abundant natural resources, which encompass minerals, oil, and natural gas. It is situated on the most direct path connecting Europe and North America, rendering it essential for the US missile warning system. The United States aims to bolster its military presence in the region. Plans are underway to install radars for monitoring sea routes in proximity to Greenland, Iceland, and Britain—regions frequently traversed by Russian naval vessels and nuclear submarines.
