Tensions between the U.S. and Denmark have resurfaced as President-elect Trump once again expresses interest in acquiring Greenland. The island's prime minister and Danish politicians have unequivocally rejected the notion, with Greenland's leader asserting that their sovereignty and independence are non-negotiable.
Donald Trump Jr. is flying to Greenland on Tuesday as his president-elect father refuses to back off his threats to try to acquire the strategically located land, a source familiar with the trip confirmed to The Post.

“The United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity” for national security and freedom around the world, he wrote on Truth Social. The acquisition of the island would be the largest land addition in American history — even topping the 1803 Louisiana Purchase, which nearly doubled the size of the United States at the time.
Sources close to Trump have told The Post he is “100% serious” about his intentions for Greenland and also regaining control of the Panama Canal. He believes that the bold rhetoric is a way to deter China from expanding its influence in the Western Hemisphere, sources have said.
