Nordic Alliance Confronts Trump’s Greenland Ambitions as Arctic Security Tensions Escalate
Mike Schuler January 6, 2026
Five Nordic nations have issued a unified rebuke to renewed American territorial ambitions in the Arctic, asserting that decisions about Greenland rest solely with Denmark and Greenland as President Trump escalates rhetoric about acquiring the world’s largest island.
In a joint statement released January 6, the foreign ministers of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden emphasized their collective commitment to preserving security and stability in the Arctic region while pointedly reinforcing that “matters concerning Denmark and Greenland are for Denmark and Greenland to decide alone.”
The statement came in direct response to an earlier declaration by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, who told media that “President Trump has made it well known that acquiring Greenland is a national security priority of the United States, and it’s vital to deter our adversaries in the Arctic region.” Leavitt added that “utilizing the U.S. Military is always an option at the Commander-in-Chief’s disposal.”
The Nordic ministers’ response stressed that Arctic security “rests on respect for the fundamental principles of the UN Charter and international law, including the inviolability of borders.” The statement noted that Denmark, including Greenland, is a founding NATO member with historical close cooperation with the United States on Arctic security through the 1951 Defence Agreement, which “offers opportunities for increased security cooperation.”
A separate statement from seven major European powers—including France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, the United Kingdom, and Denmark—reinforced the message with even stronger language. “These are universal principles, and we will not stop defending them,” the statement read, emphasizing that “Greenland belongs to its people.”
Trump’s interest in Greenland extends beyond recent statements. As president-elect in January 2025, he made his intentions clear, viewing territorial expansion as a way to create a lasting legacy.
The strategic value of Greenland to both American and global interests is considerable. The island holds valuable oil, gas and mineral reserves, sits close to Arctic shipping routes, and hosts the northernmost U.S. military base. Its location makes it strategically significant for ballistic missile early-warning systems, as the shortest route from Europe to North America runs through the Arctic.
Trump first raised the idea of purchasing Greenland in 2017, becoming more serious about it in 2019 before being publicly rebuffed by Denmark. The ambition is not without historical precedent—President Harry Truman’s administration made a secret bid to acquire Greenland for $100 million in 1946, which Denmark quietly rejected.
The Nordic ministers’ statement underscored their collective military preparedness, noting they have “substantially increased our investments in Arctic security and we are ready to do even more in close consultation with the United States and other NATO allies.” They also expressed support for NATO increasing its presence and vigilance in the region.
Denmark has consistently maintained that Greenland is not for sale, despite the island’s 57,000 residents now governing their own domestic affairs after centuries of Danish control. The current diplomatic tension adds another layer to what has become an increasingly contested Arctic theater, with Russia and China aggressively expanding their influence in the region.

UK and France to send troops to Ukraine if peace deal agreed
Jaroslav Lukiv and Wyre Davies,Kyiv 6 January 2026
The UK and France have signed a declaration of intent on deploying troops in Ukraine if a peace deal is made with Russia, UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has announced.
After talks with Ukraine's allies in Paris, he said the UK and France would "establish military hubs across Ukraine" to deter future invasion, while French President Emmanuel Macron later said thousands of troops may be deployed.
Allies also largely agreed robust security guarantees for Ukraine and proposed that the US would take the lead in monitoring a truce. But the key issue of territory is still being discussed.
Russia has repeatedly warned that any foreign troops in Ukraine would be a "legitimate target".
Moscow has not yet commented on the announcements made in the French capital.
Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, and Moscow currently controls about 20% of Ukrainian territory.
Heads of state and top officials from the "Coalition of the Willing" took part in Tuesday's talks in Paris.
Speaking at a joint press conference after the meeting, Starmer said: "We signed a declaration of intent on the deployment of forces to Ukraine in the event of a peace deal.
"This is a vital part of our commitment to stand with Ukraine for the long-term.
"It paves the way for the legal framework under which British, French, and partner forces could operate on Ukrainian soil, securing Ukraine's skies and seas, and regenerating Ukraine's armed forces for the future."
The UK prime minister added London would participate in any US-led verification of a potential ceasefire.
Top US negotiator Steve Witkoff said "durable security guarantees and robust prosperity commitments are essential to a lasting peace" in Ukraine - referring to a key demand made by Kyiv.
Witkoff said the allies "largely finished" their work on agreeing security protocols "so that people of Ukraine know that when this [war] ends, it ends forever".
Jared Kushner, US President Donald Trump's special envoy and son-in-law, said that after a deal Ukrainians needed to know that "real backstops" were in place to ensure war would "not happen again".
Meanwhile, President Macron said Ukraine's allies had made "considerable progress" at the talks.
He said "robust" security guarantees for Kyiv had been agreed in the event of a potential ceasefire.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said a "huge step forward" had been made in Paris, but added that he would only consider efforts to be "enough" if they resulted in the end of the war.
What Ukraine calls security "guarantees" and what American officials have described as security "protocols" may leave some wiggle room for Trump in the event of coming to Kyiv's defence after a future Russian attack - but there is no doubt Zelensky feels he and his European allies have secured an important concession from Washington.
We heard few, if any, new details about where a future ceasefire line would be drawn and what territory, currently occupied by Russian forces, Ukraine would agree to surrender.
That prospect is still something many Ukrainians would find hard to swallow, especially as Russia continues to strike against cities and critical infrastructure across Ukraine on a daily basis.
But as the snows fall and bitter winds sweep in from the east, Zelensky knows the only alternative to a ceasefire and subsequent peace deal, is another costly, attritional winter of warfare with the inevitable loss of life that will hit Ukraine far harder than Russia.
Ukraine's president clearly hopes that guarantees of American monitoring, a multinational force on Ukrainian soil and more weapons support for his armed forces, will convince a sometimes-sceptical population that he is right to sue for peace, bolstered by a growing international coalition.
But, in concluding the Paris press conference, Zelensky acknowledged Tuesday's "milestone" did not necessarily guarantee peace. Real progress still needs Russian support, and Moscow has been notably silent in recent days about diplomatic efforts to end the war.
Putin is known to oppose the prospect of a European-led international force in any disputed areas and will be reluctant to halt his troops', albeit slow, advance if Moscow's war objectives have not been realised.
