What does President Trump’s claim that the U.S. needs to “acquire” Greenland actually mean, and what does it miss?
In this BBC World News interview, Alice Rogoff, Founder and CEO of Arctic Today, breaks down the geopolitical realities behind renewed U.S. interest in Greenland. She explains why Greenland matters for long-term security, how autonomous the territory really is, and why any discussion of its future must center on Greenlanders themselves.
“It’s a trilateral negotiation, and there are many complex, nuanced issues between Greenland and Denmark that don’t affect the U.S. directly.”
Rogoff explores:
Why the U.S. already has a strategic military presence in Greenland
Greenland’s gradual path toward independence from Denmark
Common misconceptions about Greenland’s autonomy
The role of shipping routes, mining claims, and Chinese investment
Why patient, sensitive diplomacy, not force, is essential in the Arctic
As global attention turns north, this conversation offers critical context on sovereignty, security, and why the Arctic cannot be understood through simple power politics.
