Greenland’s untapped mineral wealth has landed the island at the top of President Donald Trump’s empire-building wish list.

Trump told reporters that Greenland's only defense is 'two dog sleds,' as the Arctic island government warns it 'cannot accept' a US takeover.

President Trump argued the U.S. must acquire Greenland to prevent Russia or China from taking over, claiming Arctic territory has minimal defenses amid rising geopolitical tensions.

President Donald Trump continued his threats towards Greenland on Friday, as he insisted that if the United States did not act Russia or China would occupy it in the future.

President Donald Trump said Sunday that the United States will take Greenland "one way or another, and Europe is stepping up in defense.

US President Donald Trump would not "land on Greenland and take it by force", Lord Mandelson has said. The former UK ambassador to the US told the BBC he admired Trump's "directness" in political talks but said he was not a "fool", and advisers would remind him that taking Greenland could spell "real danger" for the US national interest.

In a bizarre twist, his claim came in response to a reporter asking if he was worried that his push to “acquire” the Danish-held territory “one way or the other” could mark the end of the 76-year-old military alliance.

Greenlandic soldier Salik Augustinussen said any US troops invading the island would be "attacking the brothers and sisters who stood side by side with you" after 9/11
