Earlier this week, on Monday, December 22, U.S. President Donald Trump stirred up headlines at a Palm Beach press conference when he declared that the United States "needs" Greenland for its national security. He also announced Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry as a special envoy to the self-governing island of Denmark.
Denmark’s Prime Minister and Greenland’s Premier quickly pushed back, stressing that Greenland’s status under Danish sovereignty must be respected under international law. They were clear: any idea of annexation is off the table. ✋🌍
This exchange highlights ongoing debates over territory, national interests, and legal boundaries on the global stage. Stay tuned as we watch how both sides navigate this diplomatic back-and-forth!
