Trump reignites call for US to control Greenland at NATO summit

President Donald Trump reignited his call for the United States to control Greenland, threatening to remove American soldiers from European nations over the issue, as the 2026 NATO summit got underway in Ankara.Trump reiterated his position that Greenland is vital for U.S. security during a bilateral meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan after an earlier push from Trump to acquire the semi-autonomous territory from Denmark set off a NATO crisis in January. "That's what hurt my relationship with NATO," Trump said in response to a reporter's question about Greenland. "Because Greenland doesn't help Denmark. Denmark doesn't spend money to really help Greenland, but it's an important part for the United States, and it's surrounded by China ships and Russian ships, and that's not going to happen."

The United States has about 68,000 active-duty military personnel stationed in European countries. In May, the Trump administration announced the withdrawal of 5,000 US. troops from Germany in an apparent response to Chancellor Friedrich Merz's criticism of the U.S. war in Iran.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, speaking at the NATO summit hours after Trump's remarks, said she expected allies to respect the sovereignty of the Danish kingdom and accept that Greenland was not for sale. "It is a well-known position of the United States that it wants to own and take over Greenland. I hope that it is equally well-known everywhere that this is not going to happen," Frederiksen said, adding that Denmark has no plans to discuss Arctic or Greenland issues in Ankara.
Greenland's government has also repeatedly said the territory is not for sale. Múte Egede, Greenland's foreign minister, in a statement said Greenland's future should be decided by its people. "That's how it has always been. And that's how it always will be," he said.
