""something on Greenland, whether they like it or not.""
""the easy way, we're going to do it the hard way,""
""ownership gives you things and elements that you can't get from just signing a document.""
""the realization we need to increase our presence in the Arctic, and we don't yet have the right strategy or vision to do so,""
U.S. leadership is pursuing control of Greenland, a semiautonomous, mineral-rich island within the Kingdom of Denmark, and is considering options ranging up to military action. Danish, Greenlandic and U.S. officials met in Washington and plan further talks as the White House renews its push. The U.S. aims to strengthen Arctic security presence and pursue economic and mining opportunities, while Greenlanders and Denmark oppose U.S. ownership. Danish leaders warn that a forced takeover could end NATO. Experts link the renewed focus to long-standing U.S. neglect of Arctic strategy and presence.
