President Donald Trump’s newly appointed Greenland envoy has reignited debate after saying the United States “we have to have it,” referring to Greenland’s strategic importance. The video also includes bites stating “Greenland must be independent,” highlighting contrasting views over the Arctic island’s future.
Trump has repeatedly argued that Greenland is vital for U.S. national security and Arctic strategy, while leaders in Denmark and Greenland have pushed back, stressing that the territory is not for sale and that its people should decide their own future.
The report also references JD Vance’s trip to Greenland, which drew attention to growing U.S. political and security interest in the region. Officials and analysts say the renewed focus reflects rising geopolitical competition in the Arctic involving global powers.
The comments and reactions underscore ongoing tensions between U.S. strategic ambitions and calls for Greenlandic self-determination.
