The Trump administration is renewing its push to assert U.S. control over Greenland, drawing criticism from allies and raising questions about Washington’s intentions, according to media reports.
White House adviser Stephen Miller said the United States “should have” Greenland and suggested no country would militarily oppose such a move.

While Miller downplayed the need for force, he declined to rule it out, arguing that global politics are ultimately governed by power.
President Donald Trump has repeatedly said Greenland is critical to U.S. national security and has refused to take military options off the table.
Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry, serving as a special envoy, echoed that stance in recent interviews.
The remarks triggered sharp reactions from Europe. Denmark and other allies reaffirmed Greenland’s sovereignty and warned that any U.S. takeover would violate international law and strain transatlantic relations.
