Greenland's Struggle: U.S. Influence and Sovereignty Concerns

Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen warns of the U.S.'s ongoing attempts to control Greenland. Despite President Trump's dismissal of military action, tensions are high due to security concerns involving Russia and China. Diplomatic efforts are underway between Greenland, the U.S., and Denmark to address these issues.

Greenland Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen issued a stern warning on Monday regarding the U.S.'s relentless pursuit of control over the Arctic island. Despite President Trump's assurance to avoid military action, Washington's intentions remain evident as they cite security concerns with Russia and China.

European NATO members have stood by Denmark's sovereignty over Greenland, arguing that Trump's pressure risks fracturing the alliance. Although the U.S. president claims to have secured access to Greenland within a NATO deal, specifics remain opaque.

Nielsen emphasized Greenland's resolve against U.S. control, stating that the U.S. seeks ownership paths, while local pressures impact mental health. Diplomatic discussions are ongoing among Greenland, Denmark, and the U.S. to find common ground while respecting sovereignty.
