LIVE | "No One Can Secure Greenland, Other Than U.S.": Trump at Davos | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Speaking at the World Economic Forum, U.S. President Donald Trump said the United States “needs” Greenland for national and global security, reigniting an idea once dismissed as absurd and prompting Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen to warn that while military force is unlikely, it cannot be ruled out. Greenland, the world’s largest island with a population of just 58,000, says it does not want to join the U.S., a position backed by Denmark and European leaders who stress sovereignty, diplomacy and international law. Despite protests in Greenland and polls showing nine in ten Americans oppose taking the island by force, Trump and his administration continue to press the issue, raising scenarios ranging from military action to a purchase or coercive pressure. Analysts say a military move would be catastrophic for NATO, a sale would require broad international approval, and the most plausible option may be political or financial inducements — a prospect critics warn could set a dangerous global precedent.
