The United States has threatened to take control of Greenland, with the president stating that a military takeover of the island is an option. Greenland contains significant mineral and energy resources, including rare earth elements, gold, and oil. Greenland is a territory of Denmark, a fellow NATO member, making any unilateral US action a potential violation of Danish sovereignty. Such threats risk undermining NATO cohesion, creating diplomatic and security rifts between allies, and complicating Arctic cooperation. Competing strategic and economic interests in Greenland’s resources raise geopolitical stakes and could prompt allied reassessments of defense and diplomatic strategies.
