US Edition[Opinion] Trump’s claims about Greenland
Negotiations aim to strengthen U.S. and NATO security in the Arctic, countering Russia and China without purchasing Greenland, officials said.
- On January 21, 2026, President Donald Trump in Davos announced a framework for Greenland following a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.
- Decades-Long drawdown left the U.S. military presence in Greenland reduced from 17 bases to one U.S. base with around 150 personnel and more than 300 contract employees, while a bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers recently met with Denmark and Greenland leaders to discuss Arctic strategy.
- Bloomberg reported the framework includes U.S. missiles, mining rights to block Chinese interests, and a bolstered NATO presence; President Donald Trump told reporters Thursday NATO would be involved and negotiators seek broad military access in Greenland.
- Lawmakers warned the move risks upending NATO and described it as the gravest threat to the transatlantic alliance; several said it could harm U.S. credibility, cost taxpayers, and push Europe closer to China.
- Negotiators say details of the agreement are still being negotiated Wednesday, and supporters argue a final deal could lock strategic land access and secure critical minerals supply chains.

Editorial: In-House Opinions on Greenland from SoCal representatives
Our mercurial president’s meanderings this week on his desire to possess Greenland have been so, well, all over the map, tanking Wall Street markets when he threatened war, allowing stocks to recover when he said he was just joshing about an invasion, that it can be awfully hard to keep up with the latest: Threatening actions that would lead to the end of the 80-year post-war transatlantic alliance.
