Trump renews claim US should take Greenland, drawing European rebuke

President Donald Trump has repeated his assertion that the United States should acquire Greenland. He framed the idea as necessary to prevent Russia or China from taking control of the territory, stating the US would do so 'one way or the other'.

European and NATO officials have pushed back against the comments. Denmark's prime minister called the situation a 'decisive moment,' while a European commissioner warned that a US military takeover of Greenland would mean the end of the NATO alliance. Germany has pledged an increased role in Greenland in response.
