US President Donald Trump has threatened to annex Greenland, framing the move as protection against China and Russia. Greenland is an autonomous Danish territory with growing strategic Arctic value as climate change opens new shipping routes and reveals mineral opportunities. About 57,000 Inuit residents view annexation talk as insulting and colonial and refuse to be treated as geopolitical pawns. Heightened international interest raises concerns about sovereignty, resource governance, and the rights and livelihoods of local communities. Greenlanders emphasize self-determination and insist that indigenous perspectives and consent must shape any decisions about the island's future.
