A Trump administration official says Washington is still intent on annexing Greenland, even as leaders in Copenhagen and Nuuk insist the island is not for sale. The comments suggest the White House could move on the issue within months, keeping alive one of Donald Trump's most explosive foreign policy ambitions.
Speaking to USA Today, Arctic commissioner Thomas Dans said Trump wants to push the annexation effort 'at high speed', describing it as a 'train route with multiple stops' that could skip straight to the 'main station' if the president gets his way. Dans has been working on Greenland plans since 2020, after billionaire Ronald Lauder first raised the idea with Trump.
