Greenland

Since Trump’s first term, Lauder has, according to the Guardian, acquired commercial holdings in Greenland. Some analysts see his suggestion to Trump as a way to personally benefit.

While speaking to reporters, Trump also confirmed he would discuss acquiring Greenland at this week's Davos World Economic Forum.

The current security and political arrangements are more than sufficient, rendering the US acquisition of Greenland unnecessary.

Trump has repeatedly insisted he will settle for nothing less than ownership of Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent claimed that the US gaining control of Greenland was essential for global stability, saying, "Europeans project weakness. US projects strength."

"As members of NATO, we are committed to strengthening Arctic security as a shared transatlantic interest," Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and Britain stated.

Those tariffs would increase to 25% on June 1 and would continue until a deal was reached for the US to purchase Greenland, Trump wrote.

The poll found that 75% of Americans oppose the move, while 25% say they support it. Republicans and Republican-leaning independents are evenly divided, with 50% in favor and 50% opposed.

Modest European deployments, meant to help Denmark prepare for military exercises, sent a strong message of support for Greenland's sovereignty.
