Trump's Arctic commissioner says annexation of Greenland could happen soon

Thomas Dans, the Arctic commissioner appointed by former President Donald Trump, stated that Trump"s intention to annex Greenland will not be hindered. Dans indicated that actions regarding the annexation could occur within "weeks or months."

This announcement comes amid ongoing discussions about the strategic importance of Greenland. The territory, which is an autonomous part of the Kingdom of Denmark, has been the subject of interest from the U.S. government in the past. In 2019, Trump expressed a desire to purchase Greenland, a proposal that was met with resistance from Danish officials.

In a related statement, Greenland"s Prime Minister has previously asserted that "Greenland will not be owned or governed by the U.S.," highlighting the territory"s commitment to its autonomy and self-governance. For more on this topic, see our recent developments.

As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how the U.S. government will proceed with its plans regarding Greenland.
