Rep. McBride: I assume you’re aware Greenland is indeed part of Denmark.

Sec. Marco Rubio: For now...

Denmark’s PM Mette Frederiksen:

Trump was very outspoken about his desire regarding Greenland.

I think we responded very clearly. We had a public discussion and then we agreed to have this high-level working group. It's still working.

Our territorial integrity has to be respected.

Trump’s Greenland envoy, Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry:

Greenland needs a deal. Greenland could be exporting 2 million barrels of oil a day right now.

Think about what kind of pressure that would relieve in the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump: Hello, Greenland!

Jeff Landry, Trump's envoy to Greenland, has arrived in Nuuk to attend the "Future Greenland" business conference.

Washington and Copenhagen have been holding closely guarded talks on opening three new American military bases in southern Greenland. The installations would be designated U.S. sovereign territory and focus on tracking Russian and Chinese naval movements through the GIUK Gap. Pituffik Space Base is currently the only U.S. base on the island, down from roughly 17 at the height of the Cold War.
