Inside Trump’s Plan to ‘Get’ Greenland: Persuasion, Not Invasion
![]() 943 Thursday, 10 April, 2025, 22:51 President Trump’s longtime goal of claiming Greenland for America has shifted from rhetoric to official U.S. policy as the White House moves forward on a formal plan to acquire the Arctic island from Denmark. The plan mobilizes several cabinet departments behind Mr. Trump’s years of talk about wanting Greenland, whose economic and strategic value have grown as warming temperatures melt Arctic ice. Greenland’s size — 836,330 square miles — also offers Mr. Trump, a former Manhattan developer, the chance to clinch what he may see as one of history’s greatest real estate deals. Danish officials angrily insist that the sparsely populated island is not for sale and cannot be annexed. But Mr. Trump has made clear his determination to control it. “We need Greenland for national security and even international security, and we’re working with everybody involved to try and get it,” he said in an address to Congress last month. “One way or the other, we’re going to get it,” Mr. Trump added. |
