Greenland And Europe Hope To Avert U.S. Intervention To Acquire Greenland

NUUK, GREENLAND - JANUARY 17: People, including a man holding a placard that shows Greenland covered in an American flag, Xed out and that reads: Our Land, Not Yours", gather to march in protest against U.S. President Donald Trump and his announced intent to acquire Greenland on January 17, 2026 in Nuuk, Greenland. Greenlandic, Danish and other European leaders are hoping they can still avert an intervention by the United States to forcefully acquire the island as U.S. President Donald Trump continues to insist the U.S. must have Greenland, suggesting even by military means if necessary.
