Trump administration officials are scheduled to meet with Danish counterparts on Wednesday to discuss the aalleged potential acquisition of Greenland by the U.S.
Trump representatives are set to discuss Greenland with Danish officials on Wednesday, January 14, diplomatic sources told U.S. local media, though the meeting has not been officially announced.
“I’d love to make a deal with them. It’s easier. But one way or the other, we’re going to have Greenland”, President Trump said aboard Air Force One. Previously, the White House had confirmed that officials are weighing a broad range of options to acquire Greenland, including a potential military seizure.

Following meetings with Danish officials last week, Senator Tim Kaine said Sunday he expects bipartisan opposition in Congress to any military move against Greenland.
However, Trump bypassed Congressional approval in both 2025 and 2026—first when he ordered the bombing of Iran during the 12-day war prompted by Israel, and again during the military operation that led to the kidnapping of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. In neither case did his administration face consequences for the unlawful procedures.
Greenland is one of the three nations that make up the Kingdom of Denmark, which is also a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), along with the United States.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has warned that a U.S. attack on Greenland would mean the end of the bloc.
NATO countries agree under the alliance’s Article 5 that “an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all.” Therefore, “each of them will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force,” in accordance with Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations regarding the right to collective and individual self-defense.
