Global tensions rise as President Donald Trump declares that the United States must “own” Greenland to prevent Russia and China from expanding their influence in the Arctic. Rejecting lease agreements, Trump warned that Greenland would be taken “the easy way or the hard way,” sparking backlash from Denmark, Greenland, and NATO allies. With strategic military importance, rare natural resources, and growing Arctic competition, Trump’s remarks have reignited fears of geopolitical confrontation and raised serious questions about sovereignty, international law, and the future of transatlantic relations.

00:00That's called a happy Trump.
00:03And considering the fact that I'm never happy, I'm never satisfied.
00:07I'm not talking about money for Greenland yet.
00:10We are going to do something on Greenland, whether they like it or not.
00:13We don't do it.
00:14Russia or China will take over Greenland.
00:17And we're not going to have Russia or China as a neighbor.
00:20If you take a look outside of Greenland right now, there are Russian destroyers.
00:24There are Chinese destroyers and bigger.
00:27There are Russian submarines all over the place.
00:30If we don't do it, China or Russia will.
00:32It's not going to happen.
00:33We're not going to allow Russia or China to occupy Greenland.
00:37I just have a policy question, President Trump, but I'm having a hard time seeing here.
00:40I see the American flag lapel pin.
00:43What is the other lapel pin on your chair?
00:44Somebody gave me this.
00:45You know what that is?
00:47That's called a happy Trump.
00:49And considering the fact that I'm never happy, I'm never satisfied.
00:55I will never be satisfied until we make America great again.
00:58But we're getting pretty close, I'll tell you what.
01:01This is called a happy Trump.
01:02Somebody gave it to me.
01:03I put it on.
01:07And the policy question.
01:09How much money are you thinking of giving people in Greenland to get them on board with
01:14a possible U.S.
01:15I'm not talking about money for Greenland yet.
01:17I might talk about that.
01:19But right now, we are going to do something on Greenland, whether they like it or not,
01:24because if we don't do it, Russia or China will take over Greenland.
01:30And we're not going to have Russia or China as a neighbor.
01:33Okay?
01:38I would like to make a deal, you know, the easy way.
01:41But if we don't do it the easy way, we're going to do it the hard way.
01:43And by the way, I'm a fan of Denmark, too, I have to tell you.
01:51And, you know, they've been very nice to me.
01:54I'm a big fan.
01:55But, you know, the fact that they had a boat land there 500 years ago doesn't mean that
01:59they own the land.
02:01I'm sure we had lots of boats go there also.
02:04But we need that because if you take a look outside of Greenland right now, there are Russian
02:10destroyers, there are Chinese destroyers and bigger, there are Russian submarines all over
02:15the place.
02:16We're not going to have Russia or China occupy Greenland, and that's what they're going to
02:20do if we don't.
02:21So we're going to be doing something with Greenland, either the nice way or the more difficult way.
02:30Please.
02:31Go ahead, ma'am.
02:32On Greenland, Mr. President, why is it so important to you to own it when you have a military
02:36presence there, which you could expand to affect security?
02:39Because when we own it, we defend it.
02:42You don't defend leases the same way.
02:44You have to own it.
02:45And, you know, with a nation, look at what happened with Obama with that horrible deal
02:51they made with Iran.
02:52It was a short-term deal.
02:53It was like a nine-year deal.
02:55Countries can't make nine-year deals or even hundred-year deals.
02:58Countries have to have ownership.
03:00And you defend ownership, you don't defend leases.
03:03And we'll have to defend Greenland.
03:05If we don't do it, China or Russia will.
03:08It's not going to happen.
03:09We are not going to have — and I like China.
03:12I like Russia.
03:13I love the people of China.
03:14I love the people of Russia.
03:16I get along very well with President Putin, but I'm very disappointed in him.
03:21I get along very well with President Xi.
03:23I'm going to go over to China in April.
03:25But I don't want them as a neighbor in Greenland.
03:27Not going to happen.
03:28And by the way, and NATO's got to understand that.
03:32I'm all for NATO.
03:33I saved NATO.
03:34If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have a NATO right now.
03:37But we're not going to allow Russia or China to occupy Greenland.
03:41And that's what's going to happen if we don't.
