But Mr. Trump has made clear his determination to control it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe need Greenland for national security and even international security, and we\u2019re working with everybody involved to try and get it,\u201d he said in an address to Congress last month.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cOne way or the other, we\u2019re going to get it,\u201d Mr. Trump added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The White House\u2019s National Security Council has met several times to put Mr. Trump\u2019s words into action, and recently sent specific instructions to multiple arms of the government, according to a U.S. official.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The plan\u2019s full details are unclear. But despite Mr. Trump\u2019s allusions to the possible use of force, the deliberations led by the security council never seriously considered military options, the official said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The policy instead emphasizes persuasion over coercion, and features a public relations effort aimed at convincing Greenland\u2019s population of 57,000 that they should ask to join the United States.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Trump\u2019s advisers have discussed using advertising and social media campaigns to sway public opinion on the island, according to another person briefed on the matter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It may be an uphill battle. In an election last month, an opposition political party that favors quick independence and closer ties with the United States finished in second place but with just a quarter of the vote.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The U.S. messaging campaign will include an unlikely appeal to Greenlanders\u2019 shared heritage with the native Inuit people of Alaska, nearly 2,500 miles away, the official said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Greenland\u2019s Inuit population is descended from people who migrated from Alaska hundreds of years ago, and the island\u2019s official language is <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.arctictoday.com\/how-language-links-alaskas-arctic-to-greenland\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">derived from Inuit dialects<\/a> that originated in Arctic Canada.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Trump\u2019s advisers have already begun making their public case, arguing that Denmark has been a poor custodian of the island, that only the United States can protect it from encroachment by Russia and China, and that America will help Greenlanders \u201cget rich,\u201d as Mr. Trump has put it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Trump administration is also reminding Greenland that the United States has defended it before.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Last month, Mr. Trump posted a <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/1905689237749727368\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">slick 90-second video<\/a> on social media celebrating the \u201cblood and bravery\u201d of U.S. troops who took positions on the island during World War II to prevent a feared Nazi invasion after Germany occupied Denmark.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Although Denmark hoped that American forces would leave after the war, they never did, and the United States still maintains a military base there.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Trump administration is also studying financial incentives for Greenlanders, including the possibility of replacing the $600 million in subsidies that Denmark gives the island with an annual payment of about $10,000 per Greenlander.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Some Trump officials believe those costs could be offset by new revenue from the extraction of Greenland\u2019s natural resources, which include rare earth minerals, copper, gold, uranium and oil.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Trump officials argue that American capital and industrial might can gain access to the island\u2019s largely untapped mineral wealth in a way that Denmark cannot. \u201cThis is about critical minerals,\u201d Mr. Trump\u2019s national security adviser, Michael Waltz, told Fox News in January. \u201cThis is about natural resources.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But analysts do not universally agree that it will be simple to profit from mining in the island\u2019s still-frigid regions. And explaining a significant expenditure to American voters as Mr. Trump has tasked the world\u2019s richest man, Elon Musk, with slashing the federal government by $1 trillion might be tough.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Trump\u2019s interest in Greenland is not new: He was serious enough in his first term to charge national security officials with exploring the idea. But after he started discussing it publicly, Greenland officials balked and Mr. Trump did not pursue the idea, which was treated as a wild fantasy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Since his second election last fall, Mr. Trump has renewed his desire with greater fervor. \u201cLet\u2019s get it done,\u201d he has demanded of aides.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-8\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cPresident Trump believes Greenland is a strategically important location, and is confident Greenlanders would be better served protected by the United States from modern threats in the Arctic region,\u201d said the National Security Council spokesman, Brian Hughes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Hughes noted that Mr. Waltz and Vice President JD Vance had recently visited Greenland and \u201claid out the important case for a partnership between Greenland and the United States to establish long-term peace at home and shared prosperity abroad.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Some analysts say the idea of incorporating Greenland into the United States, or at least developing much closer ties with the island, is less absurd than it might sound.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">That is largely because of climate change, which is thawing resource-rich areas and making them more commercially viable. Warmer temperatures have also opened new sea routes through the Arctic for commercial shipping \u2014 as well as for Chinese and Russian military vessels.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But Mr. Trump\u2019s vows to control Greenland \u201cone way or another\u201d sound to much of the world like raw imperialism, along with his talk of retaking the Panama Canal and even annexing Canada. If the administration\u2019s persuasion efforts fail, it seems quite possible that Mr. Trump will escalate his tactics.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-9\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Several U.S. presidents have considered trying to acquire Greenland. The Truman administration, rattled by Nazi threats to the island during World War II, offered Denmark the equivalent of $1 billion for it in 1946.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-10\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Denmark has exercised varying forms of control over Greenland for centuries and accepted it as a part of its kingdom in 1953. Today, Greenland manages its own domestic affairs with a budget subsidized up to <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.csis.org\/analysis\/seizing-greenland-worse-bad-deal\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">60 percent by Denmark<\/a>, which also manages its defense and foreign policy. Many of Greenland\u2019s leaders support independence, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/12\/world\/europe\/greenland-election.html\" title=\"\">but differ on how soon that should happen<\/a> and whether to move closer to the United States.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">For their part, Denmark\u2019s leaders are shocked and furious over Mr. Trump\u2019s talk of buying or seizing the island, and they insist that Greenlanders must freely determine their own fate. During a visit to Greenland last week, Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen of Denmark condemned the Trump administration\u2019s \u201cpressure and threats,\u201d saying that \u201cyou cannot annex another country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Amid Denmark\u2019s fierce resistance, the Trump administration is turning to direct courtship of Greenlanders.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-11\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Addressing the people of Greenland during his address to Congress, Mr. Trump said, \u201cWe strongly support your right to determine your own future and, if you choose, we welcome you into the United States of America.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe will keep you safe,\u201d he said. \u201cWe will make you rich.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Vance struck a similar note on March 28 during a visit to a U.S. military base on the island.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Speaking to reporters there, Mr. Vance predicted that Greenlanders would \u201cchoose, through self-determination, to become independent of Denmark, and then we\u2019re going to have conversations with the people of Greenland from there.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-12\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Trump and his senior officials have not yet publicly drawn connections between Greenland\u2019s Inuit population and American Inuits in Alaska, as envisioned in the plan approved by the National Security Council.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-13\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But that dynamic was noted in December by Robert O\u2019Brien, who served as one of Mr. Trump\u2019s first-term national security advisers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Denmark, Mr. O\u2019Brien said in an interview with Fox News, \u201ccan let us buy Greenland from it, and Greenland can become part of Alaska. I mean, the native people in Greenland are very closely related to the people of Alaska, and we\u2019ll make it a part of Alaska.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It is unclear how powerfully that message will resonate on the island. While Alaskans share in the profits of their state\u2019s oil wealth in the form of annual checks to residents, its Inuit people endure disproportionate poverty and poor health.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Danish leaders argue that the U.S. pressure campaign is already damaging America\u2019s post-World War II alliance with Denmark.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe have looked up to you,\u201d Ms. Frederiksen said of the United States during her visit to Greenland this month. \u201cYou have inspired us. You have stood guard over the free world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cBut,\u201d she added, \u201cwhen you demand to take over a part of the kingdom\u2019s territory \u2014 when we are subjected to pressure and threats \u2014 what are we to think of the country we have admired for so many years?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion
