Trump pushes for US control of Greenland, faces widespread opposition

Trump has repeatedly stated his desire for the United States to acquire or control Greenland, a large, autonomous territory of Denmark. He has suggested the US will act 'whether they like it or not' and has threatened to impose tariffs on countries that oppose the plan.

Greenland's political leaders and a large majority of its residents have firmly rejected the idea, with protests taking place in Greenland and Denmark. A meeting between US and Danish officials ended with a 'fundamental disagreement' on the issue. Polls show most Americans also oppose a US takeover of Greenland.
