US President Donald Trump has claimed that Greenland will now be protected from what he described as \u201cRussian threats,\u201d asserting that Denmark failed to address security concerns despite repeated warnings over the past two decades.
In a post on X, the White House said NATO had been urging Denmark for 20 years to counter Russian influence in Greenland, but alleged that Copenhagen had been unable to act. \u201cNow it is time, and it will be done,\u201d the post said, underscoring Trump\u2019s strong stance on the strategically important Arctic territory.
The remarks come ahead of Trump\u2019s scheduled meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte at the World Economic Forum in Davos, which begins on Monday. Rutte confirmed that he discussed the security situation in Greenland and the Arctic with Trump and said further engagement on the issue would continue.
Meanwhile, several European nations have rallied behind Denmark and Greenland amid reports that the US administration is threatening to impose tariffs on European countries unless Washington is allowed to acquire Greenland. Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom issued a joint statement expressing full solidarity with Denmark and the people of Greenland.
The statement said that ongoing Arctic military exercises do not pose a threat and warned that the use of tariffs would undermine transatlantic relations, potentially triggering a dangerous escalation.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[51],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-36916","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-world"],"yoast_head":"\nTrump Claims Greenland Will Be Free of \u2018Russian Threat\u2019 as NATO, Europe Push Back - Daily Taskeen<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/dailytaskeen.com\/?p=36916\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Trump Claims Greenland Will Be Free of \u2018Russian Threat\u2019 as NATO, Europe Push Back - Daily Taskeen\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/dailytaskeen.com\/?p=36916\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Daily Taskeen\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2026-01-19T06:02:27+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/dailytaskeen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Snapshot_1303.png\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1920\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1080\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"editor1\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"editor1\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/dailytaskeen.com\/?p=36916\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/dailytaskeen.com\/?p=36916\",\"name\":\"Trump Claims Greenland Will Be Free of \u2018Russian Threat\u2019 as NATO, Europe Push Back - Daily Taskeen\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/dailytaskeen.com\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/dailytaskeen.com\/?p=36916#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/dailytaskeen.com\/?p=36916#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/dailytaskeen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Snapshot_1303-300x169.png\",\"datePublished\":\"2026-01-19T06:02:27+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/dailytaskeen.com\/#\/schema\/person\/6cfa84d9ff0700972e0c05932c80c5a7\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/dailytaskeen.com\/?p=36916#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/dailytaskeen.com\/?p=36916\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/dailytaskeen.com\/?p=36916#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/dailytaskeen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Snapshot_1303.png\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/dailytaskeen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Snapshot_1303.png\",\"width\":1920,\"height\":1080,\"caption\":\"US President Donald Trump has claimed that Greenland will now be protected from what he described as \u201cRussian threats,\u201d asserting that Denmark failed to address security concerns despite repeated warnings over the past two decades.
