According to information from Reuters, the Trump administration is actively considering the possibility of reaching an agreement with Greenland that would allow the U
S. to establish its influence in this strategically important region. This is reportedly planned to be achieved through the creation of a treaty similar to those already signed between the U.S. and several Pacific island nations, such as Micronesia, the Marshall Islands, and Palau. Sources within high levels of the American government, who requested confidentiality and were cited by agencies including Reuters, report that as part of this project, there is a consideration to propose Greenland enter into a so-called "Compact of Free Association" (COFA). This document provides broad opportunities for cooperation between the parties in various fields: from trade and services to military security. Signing such agreements with small island nations allows the U.S. to maintain operational freedom in the region, while trade remains minimal in terms of customs restrictions. However, this decision is still at the discussion stage within specialized agencies. According to contacts within the agency, representatives from the U.S. National Security Council and the Trump-initiated Council on Energy Dominance are already involved in negotiations. They aim to coordinate the details of a potential agreement that could alter Greenland’s status, but given its current status—an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark—this move is considered quite risky. European sources and other informed entities report that the Danish government has not yet been briefed on possible U.S. plans regarding Greenland. This raises concerns, as any attempts to change Greenland’s status without official approval from Copenhagen could lead to a diplomatic conflict. It is worth recalling that the Trump administration has repeatedly expressed intentions to take control of this self-governing territory. Earlier, the U.S. president openly hinted at the possibility of using force to establish American control over Greenland, a notion sharply criticized by Denmark, which regards it as unacceptable from the perspective of international law and diplomacy. In response to threats from U.S. officials, Copenhagen emphasizes the importance of maintaining the status quo and remains committed to diplomatic solutions in the region. overall, the situation surrounding Greenland and the U.S. intention to establish its influence there remains one of the hottest topics in international politics, with potential far-reaching implications for the security and stability of Northern Europe and the Arctic as a whole. However, no official statements have been made by the American administration so far, leaving Washington’s position subject to significant political speculation and diplomatic discussion.
