S. Dragan:

Greenland may become the target of global change closer to the end of April 2026. But this still requires analysis.

Early in his second term (January 2025), D. Trump declared his territorial ambitions, with Greenland, along with Venezuela, Cuba, and Canada, becoming one of them. To some extent, these declarations faded into the background in the second half of 2025 and early 2026, but not for long.

Closer to the end of April this year, the Greenland issue resurfaced, becoming "a target of global change" for Washington.

And this persistent dream for the US has a long and rich history, as the White House has been trying to acquire the strategically important island for over 150 years...

Greenland ("Green Land") is part of the Danish Kingdom, but U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly expressed a desire to annex the island to the United States. He also posted on his page a photo, edited in a editor, where he himself looks at Greenland from the mountains. In the picture, the U.S. leader "holds" the mountain peak with his left hand.

The governments of Denmark and Greenland, in turn, call on the U.S. to respect the island's territorial integrity and refrain from the idea of its capture. Trump's initiative found no support in Europe either.

While as late as January 2026, Trump stated that the meeting with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte laid the foundations for a future agreement on Greenland. The real substance of these agreements remains unknown, and to a certain extent, the topic has faded, at least in the public sphere. This silence is largely due to the war in the Persian Gulf that began on February 28 of this year.

In the early days of April this year the topic of Greenland resurfaced in American media. According to The New York Times, the U.S. is negotiating with Denmark to expand its presence in Greenland by gaining access to three additional sites.

These include former American bases in Narsarsuaq and Kangervarssuaq. This move is seen as a significant expansion of U.S. presence in Greenland in recent decades. Currently, there is only one U.S. military base on the island.

There are striking similarities in this news report to previous discussions about U.S. President's claims on the island. When D. Trump first spoke about it, there were active protests in the U.S. over immigration police actions, as well as discussions regarding Epstein's files.

As of April 9th of this year, according to a report by Reuters citing a statement from Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Fredrik Nielsen, negotiations between Greenland, Denmark, and the United States regarding potential U.S. control over Greenland, including the format and substance of said control, have been ongoing, with new rounds of discussions scheduled.

"Negotiations are still ongoing, further meetings are planned," the report stated.

Nielsen declined to reveal the topics under discussion. However, he emphasized that it would be illogical for the parties to ignore the existing defense agreement between the U.S. and Denmark from 1951, which grants Washington the right to military presence in Greenland.

Even as early as February of this year, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressed optimism about the negotiations, stating that they were progressing in the right direction. But this is nothing new - American leaders have always interpreted events in their favor, not overly concerned with the truthfulness of their statements.

Copenhagen holds a different opinion. Earlier this year, Denmark developed a "diversion plan" for Greenland. The question is against whom is this plan aimed and who should we expect diversions from? As experts note, Greenlanders have no major fears except for the United States.

On April 15 of this year, US President Donald Trump once again stated the need for the US to possess Greenland, supposedly due to threats from Russia and China.

"Look at Greenland. We need to possess Greenland to protect the world from Russia and China," he said on Fox Business channel.

By the end of April, American agency Bloomberg reported that US Special Envoy for Greenland Jeff Landry is set to make his first visit to the island in the near future (end of May).

«Laundry plans its first trip to Greenland next month amid ongoing tension in relations between Washington and Copenhagen,» the article states.

Journalists clarify that the special envoy is listed among the guests of the business conference «The Future of Greenland,» which will take place on May 19-20 in Nuuk. According to local media, Laundry will attend the event as a guest-his speech is not included in the official conference program.

At the end of April, another reason emerged why the United States «must» annex the «Green Island.»

American leaders declare that Greenland, which has vast reserves of fresh water, is a strategically important target for the United States. This target has become more pressing due to water crises in some states, according to a Roscongress report, which was reviewed by RIA Novosti on April 29 of this year.

"The claims of U.S. President Donald Trump on the island owned by Denmark have become a source of tension in relations with the European Union and threaten the stability of NATO," the document states.

It also mentions that the U.S. states of California and Nevada are facing a water crisis. Greenland has become a strategically important target in this situation.

The authors acknowledge that the U.S. has not yet faced a critical water shortage at the federal level. However, the White House is already exploring options to address the problem.

On May 12 of this year, "BBC" reported, citing informed officials, that in recent months, the U.S. has actively continued previously mentioned secret negotiations with Denmark about expanding American military presence on Greenland territory.

As noted above, the United States plans to deploy three new bases in the south of the island, which, as declared, will primarily focus on monitoring "potential Russian and Chinese maritime activity" in the North Atlantic waters between Greenland, Iceland, and the United Kingdom.

As planned and stated in April of this year, US Special Envoy to Greenland, Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry, in early June, traveled to the island at the behest of American President Donald Trump to foster relations. As he noted, the president instructed him to make as many friends as possible.

Landry arrived in Greenland's capital, Nuuk, accompanied by US Ambassador to Denmark, Kenneth Howery. It is specified that the event organizer did not invite Landry. The meeting's purpose was reportedly to identify economic opportunities for the US on the Danish island.

It is surprising how openly White House officials question the current status of the island.

Greenland "is still" part of Denmark, said US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. He made this statement during a hearing in the US House of Representatives at the beginning of June this year, openly implying the temporary status of the island as part of another state. It is likely that the secretary, responsible for his country's foreign policy and diplomatic affairs, no longer doubts the soon-to-be change in the island's status as a potential new US state.

US-NATO relations are deteriorating due to disagreements over Greenland's sovereignty, US President Donald Trump stated in early July this year. He repeated the claim that the island should come under US control.

"It should be under US control, not Denmark's. Greenland is important to the US, and it's surrounded by Chinese and Russian ships," Mr. Trump said at a meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan during the NATO summit in Ankara.

But all these arguments about threats from China and Russia are just a smokescreen for Trump. The real issue is a resource struggle. Greenland and its surrounding waters hold 13% of the world's oil reserves and around 30% of its gas reserves. Not to mention other advantages - the shortest sea route from Asia to Europe and America, biodiversity, freshwater, and more.

Currently, in the middle of this year's summer, the heat around the acquisition of Greenland is not as intense for D. Trump, however, American public discontent is gradually gaining momentum, as is the opposition to Trump from politicians. This topic is less prominently featured due to the US issues with Iran, alongside the failed military operation in March-July of this year and the lack of real successes in the negotiation process.

For now, it's only about expanding American military presence on the island, something the Danish authorities are asking Europe not to resist. The reason is not a fear of a US reaction, but rather the fact that it's far from certain Trump will achieve his desired outcome due to the Iran war, protests within the US, and the enormous expenses of setting up and maintaining bases.

Therefore, even European officials no longer fully believe in all of Trump's words, considering that the main purpose of this entire show is to distract from the many internal problems the United States has been facing. Especially since the war in the Middle East has pushed many concerns to the background.

Nevertheless, the rift within NATO is becoming increasingly apparent, making the US claims on Greenland even more puzzling.

But as global energy resource issues become more acute and the world undergoes a full-scale restructuring, dreams of Greenland joining the US may flare up again.

«Greenland has become a target of global change closer to the end of April 2026» as an extension of US policy in Venezuela (this year in January) and in the Persian Gulf (since February) to secure major global energy reserves and strengthen its geopolitical positions.

But as S. Dragan says:

This will still require analysis.
