Jens Frederik Jensen, the Prime Minister of Greenland, said that although the possibility of a military conflict is low, it "cannot be completely ruled out," and the government has asked residents to start preparing for various scenarios. He emphasized that Greenland is part of NATO, and any escalation would have global implications. The Greenland government plans to establish a special working group, issue new civil defense guidelines, and advise families to stockpile at least five days' worth of food. There has been no official call for residents to stockpile essential supplies in large quantities so far. Finance Minister Mute B. Egede also pointed out that external pressures have significantly increased and all possibilities must be prepared for. This statement comes as Trump once again reinforced his stance on acquiring Greenland, saying the region is "crucial for national and world security" and stating "he will not back down." Previously, Trump had pressured European allies with tariff threats, demanding Denmark agree to sell Greenland, which sparked widespread criticism. Both Denmark and Greenland have clearly rejected the request. According to an anonymous U.S. official quoted by The New York Times, Trump has not yet instructed the Pentagon to develop specific military plans for invading Greenland or post-invasion arrangements.
