Media: Trump Plans to Increase U.S. Influence Over Greenland During His Term

Russian State News Agency, Moscow, January 6 - According to a report by the British magazine The Economist, U.S. President Trump plans to increase Washington's influence over Greenland during his term and change the island's status.

The report states: "The possibility of open annexation is unlikely, but the demands of Trump should be taken seriously; he seems prepared to strengthen U.S. control over Greenland before the end of his term, changing the status of the island."

The report points out that the U.S. government's strategy includes two directions.

The report says: "First, supporting the independence movement in Greenland and deepening the island's differences with Denmark; second, the U.S. government appears to be trying to sign some kind of deal with Greenland, possibly even bypassing Denmark entirely."

Katie, the wife of White House Chief of Staff Miller, posted an image of the U.S. flag covering a map of Greenland on the social platform X on January 4, in the context of the U.S. action in Venezuela, with the text "Soon." Danish Ambassador Sørensen in Washington reminded that Denmark and the U.S. are close allies and emphasized that Copenhagen expects the U.S. to fully respect the territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Denmark.

Trump has repeatedly stated that Greenland should become part of the United States. He pointed out that Greenland holds significant strategic importance for national security and defending the 'free world,' including resisting China and Russia. Former Prime Minister of Greenland, Mute Egede responded by stating that the island is not for sale and will never be sold. Meanwhile, Trump refused to commit to not using force to control Greenland.

Before 1953, Greenland was a colony of Denmark, and it remains part of the Kingdom of Denmark today, but it gained autonomy in 2009, allowing it to govern itself and independently choose its internal affairs.
