President Donald Trump has publicly stated he expects the United States to gain an indefinite right to Greenland. He made these comments in a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, where he repeatedly referred to Greenland as 'Iceland'.
According to sources, the US and Denmark are set to renegotiate a 1951 defense pact concerning Greenland. Trump has named Senators JD Vance and Marco Rubio, along with a person named Witkoff, to lead consultations on the matter. European and NATO allies have reportedly expressed concern over the potential for a new diplomatic crisis.
Following the speech, Trump appeared to back down from some of his earlier demands regarding Greenland but remained insistent on his core wishes, particularly regarding access to critical minerals. He also announced plans to unveil a 'Board of Peace' at the Davos forum.
