Trump, speaking on Thursday during a meeting with North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) Secretary General Mark Rutte in the Oval Office, claimed that he believed the United States would eventually annex Greenland, calling Denmark “very far away” from the territory despite its status as an autonomous region within the Danish Kingdom.

Greenland's political parties are urged to form a coalition government amid U.S. annexation threats. The Democrats, led by Jens-Frederik Nielsen, emphasize unity to confront international pressure. Discussions focus on responsible economic development through resource extraction as Greenland seeks gradual independence from Denmark.

Greenland's political parties must set aside their disagreements and swiftly form a broad coalition government to show unity in the face of a U.S. campaign to annex the island, the Democrats said on Friday after winning this week's election.
