"We never asked for anything and we never got anything. We probably won't get anything unless I decide to use excessive strength and force where we would be, frankly, unstoppable. But I won't do that. Okay. Now everyone's saying, 'Oh, good'. That's probably the biggest statement I made, because people thought I would use force. I don't have to use force. I don't want to use force. I won't use force. All the United States is asking for is a place called Greenland."

Greenlanders voiced relief but remained wary after Trump ruled out using military force to take over the Arctic island in a speech in Davos.

"I would say a lot, actually. It feels like a huge relief. And in many ways, because of course, I and many other Greenlandic people have been super worried about what might happen because there have been talks about using force. So it makes me super relieved. But again, you never know with Donald Trump. Like he has been known for saying stuff and doing the opposite."

Later that day, after a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in Davos, Trump withdrew a threat to impose tariffs on a number of nations for their stance on Greenland, saying he had reached the outlines of a deal with NATO on the island's future.

"Based upon a very productive meeting that I have had with the Secretary General of NATO, Mark Rutte, we have formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland and, in fact, the entire Arctic Region. This solution, if consummated, will be a great one for the United States of America, and all NATO Nations. Based upon this understanding, I will not be imposing the Tariffs that were scheduled to go into effect on February 1st. Additional discussions are being held concerning The Golden Dome as it pertains to Greenland. Further information will be made available as discussions progress. Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, and various others, as needed, will be responsible for the negotiations — They will report directly to me. Thank you for your attention to this matter! DONALD J. TRUMP. PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA."

“The Danish and Greenlandic positions are the same, and there has been no negotiation with NATO yesterday about our sovereignty. Of course there hasn't. That is a matter for us alone, and we do not intend to abandon the very basic principles of democracy and politics. Now we are continuing to engage in dialogue with the Americans about security. We also have a common interest in ensuring that there is no Chinese or Russian investment. Neither in my view in the United States or in Europe. So in fact, there are many common points and a common interest in ensuring our security.”

Footage released by the Swedish military showed a platoon of troops from its Air Force Rangers training in Greenland as part of the ongoing “Arctic Endurance” exercise.

The video that the military dated to February showed Swedish soldiers in western Greenland marching with packs and weapons, firing on a range and one member of the unit operating a drone.

The platoon of Air Force Rangers would be training in the exercise for “a couple of weeks,” Sweden’s military said in a statement.

“It's difficult for me to, of course, to be concrete about the conversations in the working group, but we have taken some steps in the right direction. The first step was to start talking together instead of about each other in the media and to stop threatening Greenland, take the conversations into a room and talk respectfully to each other. There are conversations about more the security question around our region in Greenland. Those conversations are ongoing.”

The U.S. opening of a larger diplomatic hub in Greenland on May 21 was met by demonstrators opposed to President Donald Trump's ambition for greater influence in the Arctic island, while local government ministers shied away from the event.

Moving from a wooden cabin on the outskirts of Nuuk to a much larger downtown office, the new United States consulate has become a focal point for Greenlanders unhappy with Trump's stated desire to control the island, a semi-autonomous part of Denmark.

And that's not going to happen - the ships, it's not going to happen - it was Greenland that in my, and it continues to be. That should be controlled by the United States, not by Denmark. And when they wouldn't go along with it, and with all the money we spend to help them with Russia, we don't have to spend any money. We could remove all of our soldiers out of Europe."

Denmark is ready to defend every inch of NATO, including the kingdom of Denmark, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said in Ankara on Wednesday (July 8), a day after U.S. President Donald Trump reiterated that Greenland should be controlled by the U.S.
