Trump pushes for US to acquire Greenland, drawing international reactions

President Donald Trump has publicly advocated for the United States to acquire Greenland, suggesting it should happen 'one way or another'. He framed the move as necessary to prevent Russia or China from taking control of the territory and mocked Greenland's current defenses as minimal.

His comments prompted reactions from European and NATO allies. Denmark's prime minister called it a 'fateful moment', while a US senator warned such an annexation 'would be the end of NATO'. Germany pledged an increased role in the region, and Russia's former president, Dmitry Medvedev, mocked the situation by advising Trump to 'take' Greenland first.
