The facts
Greenland is roughly 836,000 square miles — over three times the size of Texas — and sits astride key Arctic shipping lanes.
The United States has operated a military base in Greenland since 1943, now called Pituffik Space Base, under a 1951 defense agreement with Denmark.
In 2019, President Trump first floated buying Greenland; Denmark's prime minister called the idea 'absurd,' and Trump canceled a state visit in response.
Greenland is a self-governing territory of Denmark with about 56,000 residents, most of them Indigenous Inuit, and its own parliament in Nuuk.
At the 2025 NATO summit, allies unveiled billions in new arms contracts as Trump renewed calls for U.S. control of Greenland.
