President Trump has repeatedly expressed a goal for the United States to take possession of Greenland. Trump has said it is vital to the long-term national security interests of America. Tensions are high between Trump and the leader of Denmark.
Just this week, the Danish member of the European Parliament Anders Vistisen, directing his comments to President Trump about Greenland, said: “Greenland has been part of the Danish Kingdom for 800 years,” and “is not for sale.” “Let me put it in words you might understand: Mr. Trump. F*** off.”
“Mr. Trump, fuck off.”

Politicians have said it’s impossible. The media has dismissed it as impossible. The Prime Minister of Denmark, which still owns Greenland as one of its colonies, reportedly rebuffed Trump on a phone call on January 15th where she told Trump it was impossible because the 179-member Danish parliament has said the “island is not for sale.”
But legal experts say there is another way that doesn’t require a sale of the island: it simply requires a vote of the people. And from learning from the dirty tricks of Democrats to rig elections with foreign voters, the United States could use the same tactic to split Greenland from Denmark and make it an independent nation by simply bringing in the voters necessary to win the election.
And now even Danish politician Rasmus Jarlov admits that the United States could, consistent with treaties between the two countries, scale up the base any time Washington wants to:
And I write it because I get the impression that the people behind the idea of taking Greenland from Denmark have a weird idea that they just have to rattle their sabers a little bit to get their will. You can forget that. No threats of tariffs or even invasion or anything else…

Polling suggests 57.4% of Greenland’s people support President Trump’s policy and want to join the United States.
Greenland is a small arctic dependency of Denmark. There are only 56,865 people living in the entire country. This is about the same size as a small midwest city in America, such as Mankato, Minnesota or Manhattan, Kansas. Experts think Greenland has an estimated 31.4 billion barrels of oil, almost 150% the reserves of Texas, worth about $2.5 trillion. Greenland also has an estimated $150 billion in rare earth minerals.
There are currently three requirements for voters in Greenland: 1) be over the age of 18, 2) be a Danish citizen, and 3) be a permanent resident of Greenland.
To become a Danish citizen, you must fulfill a wider variety of requirements, including: Permanent residence: living in the country for up to nine years. Language proficiency: You must be proficient in Danish or English. Criminal record: a clean criminal record. Financial stability: financially self-sufficient and not demanding state welfare. Employment: Fully employed for at least three years and six months within the last four years. Citizenship test: Able to pass the Denmark Citizenship Test. Municipal ceremony: Participation in a municipal constitution ceremony. Declaration of allegiance: Making a declaration of allegiance and loyalty. Certificate of good conduct: Must obtain a certificate of good conduct from one’s home country or any other countries where the person has lived.
Immigration experts suggest that President Trump could simply expand the existing American base, Pituffik, and expand it by 60,000 soldiers and their families and require that they stay there for the next decade. This effort would provide the voting base to force a Danish referendum to take over the country. Individuals can be dual citizens of both the United States and Denmark, a change that Denmark made only in 2015 permitting dual citizenship.
In Greenland, one can vote in local elections if you aren’t a Danish citizen, as long as you have been a permanent resident for three years prior. Which might mean that a nationwide referendum on whether to stay subjected to Denmark is open to all, rather than just those who are Danish citizens.
Denmark keeps taxes in Greenland high: typically between 42-44%, whereas in the United States federal tax rates are 10-37% at the highest. If the United States were to take control of Greenland, its residents would likely face a significant tax cut and significant increase in domestic investment, part of what is leading many in Greenland to celebrate the potential of becoming Americans.
It might take years, but by bringing in the voter base in the form of US soldiers into Greenland, Trump could force a referendum on independence and take Greenland away from Denmark and make it independent within a decade. This effort would be costly and the Danish authorities would be likely to resist in a variety of legal and possibly illegal ways, but it would accomplish the Trump agenda with brute force.
It would also mirror reported efforts by far-left globalists like George Soros who instituted ‘color revolutions’ in target countries to get the ‘regime change’ desired, meaning that a foreign power or interest was able to internally replace the government to get one more compliant to its agenda. Boston College Academic Lindsey O’Rourke in her 2021 book “Covert Regime Change” claims the U.S. engaged in this practice 64 times during the Cold War between 1947-1989. Soros has been accused of attempting at least 10 ‘color revolutions’ since 1989, some of them successful.
Knowing that there are these options may also empower Trump’s negotiating position with Danish authorities, ensuring that no matter what, Trump has the proverbial ‘trump’ card.
However these same Danish politicians have been quite blustery about their opposition to Donald Trump’s proposed annexation of Greenland.
