With the international spotlight on Greenland, Múte Egede, the island’s prime minister, used his New Year’s address to call for complete independence from Denmark: he declared it was “now time to take the next step for our country” to remove the “shackles of the colonial era and move on”.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune said on Sunday that he believes President Donald Trump has made a "compelling argument" about Panama and Greenland.

President Trump told Denmark’s leader he wanted to take over Greenland, European officials say. Denmark has asked its E.U. allies not to inflame the situation until Mr. Trump’s intentions are clearer.

Denmark’s prime minister said the US should remember that the Nordic country has lost troops fighting in US-led wars and always has supported its large partner, after President Donald Trump escalated his demands over Greenland.

From the Reconstruction era to the Cold War, multiple administrations have tried (and failed) to acquire the Arctic island. Here’s why Greenland has always remained out of reach—and why it always mattered so much.

Donald Trump has repeatedly expressed an interest in annexing Greenland and again suggested Canada could become a US state.

The top European Union military official, Robert Brieger, said it would make sense to station troops from EU countries in Greenland, according to an interview with Germany's Welt am Sonntag published on Saturday,

President Donald Trump told Denmark ’s prime minister he is serious about taking over Greenland in a “fiery” phone call last week, the Financial Times reports. Trump and Mette Frederiksen spoke on the phone for 45 minutes last week after the president said he wanted the US to take Greenland, despite officials repeatedly saying it’s not for sale.

The story goes that Trump and Frederiksen spoke on the phone last week for about 45 minutes in what was expected to be a bit of a feeling-out between the two parties, given Trump’s very public declaration that he would like to take Greenland off Denmark’s hands.

President Trump had a “firm” phone conversation with Denmark’s prime minister last week to convey his serious intentions of acquiring Greenland, according to a report citing officials privy to the talk.

The Danish government is reported to be in "crisis mode" and "freaking out" after Donald Trump double downed on his demands to take control of Greenland. The US President told reporters on board his presidential plane that he was confident of acquiring the territory.
