French Foreign Minister: Greenland has chosen Denmark, NATO, and the European Union

Greenland official says people are "very worried" about Trump's calls to take over the island, calling it “unfathomable.”

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen: We want to strengthen security cooperation in the Arctic—with the United States, NATO, Europe, and our Arctic NATO allies. Just as the Baltic states do not defend NATO’s eastern flank alone, security in the Arctic is a shared responsibility. NATO must protect Greenland as it does every part of its territory, and that collective guarantee is the strongest defense against Russian or Chinese threats in the Arctic

“If we don’t take Greenland, Russia or China will take Greenland, and I’m am not going to let that happen,” President Donald J. Trump tells reporters earlier onboard Air Force One, stating that he would love to make a deal with them instead of military action, but says, “one way or the other, we’re gonna have Greenland.”

Trump: "I'm a fan of Denmark too. They've been very nice to me. But the fact that they had a boat land there [Greenland] 500 years ago doesn't mean they own the land. I'm sure we had lots of boats go there also."

The UK is quietly taking a leading role on Greenland, trying to persuade Trump he doesn’t need to take it over by demonstrating Europe is serious about Arctic security. In last 48 hours Starmer has spoken to Trump twice about the High North, as well as Frederiksen, Rutte, Macron, Merz. The UK this week deployed 1,500 Royal Marines commandos to northern Norway. It led discussion on the topic at NATO’s North Atlantic Council. Healey sent message to Danish counterpart. All suggests a larger British role than publicly advertised. Starmer has been telling Trump that Europe will do more in the Arctic and urging European counterparts to step up their security presence and cooperation with the US there
