Greenlandic Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen led a protest in Nuuk, Greenland on Saturday opposing President Trump's plan to annex the Arctic territory

Danish Foreign Minister: The President’s statement comes as a surprise. Earlier this week, we had a constructive meeting with Vice President Vance and Secretary Rubio. The purpose of the increased military presence in Greenland, to which the President refers, is to enhance security in the Arctic. We agree with the US that we need to do more since the Arctic is no longer a low tension area. That’s exactly why we and NATO partners are stepping up in full transparency with our American allies.

Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands: We have taken note of President Trump’s announcement on tariffs. Military efforts related to exercises in Greenland are intended to contribute to security in the Arctic region. The Netherlands is in close contact with the @EU_Commission and partners on our response

Protesters in Denmark and Greenland demonstrated against President Donald Trump's demand that the Arctic Island be ceded to the US, calling for it to be left to decide its own future

Swedish PM Ulf Kristersson after Trump tariff threat: “We will not let ourselves be blackmailed. Only Denmark and Greenland decide on matters concerning Denmark and Greenland. I will always stand up for my country, and for our allied neighbours. This is an EU matter that affects many more countries than those now being singled out. Sweden is now having intensive discussions with other EU countries, Norway and Great Britain for a collective response."

Trump: Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland have journeyed to Greenland, for purposes unknown. This is a very dangerous situation for the Safety, Security, and Survival of our Planet. These Countries, who are playing this very dangerous game, have put a level of risk in play that is not tenable or sustainable. Therefore, it is imperative that, in order to protect Global Peace and Security, strong measures be taken so that this potentially perilous situation end quickly, and without question. Starting on February 1st, 2026, all of the above mentioned Countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland), will be charged a 10% Tariff on any and all goods sent to the United States of America. On June 1st, 2026, the Tariff will be increased to 25%.

Protests under the slogan “Don’t touch Greenland” took place in Danish cities and Nuuk, with groups like Uagut demanding defense of democratic principles and human rights against external interference

Swedish PM: "Swedish Armed Forces personnel have begun deploying to Greenland today as part of a group from several allied European nations. Sweden is sending personnel from the Armed Forces at Denmark’s request."

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot announced that his country will open a consulate in Greenland on February 6 and said that the "blackmail" by the United States against the Danish island must end.

Trump: NATO must pave the way for us to acquire Greenland, otherwise Russia or China will get it.

Trump: NATO will become stronger and more effective with US control of Greenland

Trump: Greenland is extremely important to the "Golden Dome" project.

Trump: The United States needs Greenland for the purpose of National Security. It is vital for the Golden Dome that we are building. NATO should be leading the way for us to get it. IF WE DON’T, RUSSIA OR CHINA WILL, AND THAT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN! Militarily, without the vast power of the United States, much of which I built during my first term, and am now bringing to a new and even higher level, NATO would not be an effective force or deterrent - Not even close! They know that, and so do I. NATO becomes far more formidable and effective with Greenland in the hands of the UNITED STATES.

Macron on Greenland: If sovereignty of an ally is affected, knock-on effects would be unprecedented. We do not underestimate statements on Greenland

French Foreign Minister: Greenland has chosen Denmark, NATO, and the European Union

Greenland official says people are "very worried" about Trump's calls to take over the island, calling it “unfathomable.”

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen: We want to strengthen security cooperation in the Arctic—with the United States, NATO, Europe, and our Arctic NATO allies. Just as the Baltic states do not defend NATO’s eastern flank alone, security in the Arctic is a shared responsibility. NATO must protect Greenland as it does every part of its territory, and that collective guarantee is the strongest defense against Russian or Chinese threats in the Arctic

“If we don’t take Greenland, Russia or China will take Greenland, and I’m am not going to let that happen,” President Donald J. Trump tells reporters earlier onboard Air Force One, stating that he would love to make a deal with them instead of military action, but says, “one way or the other, we’re gonna have Greenland.”

Danish MP Rasmus Jarlov: Denmark will not hand over Greenland even if the USA threatens us with nuclear weapons

Trump: "I'm a fan of Denmark too. They've been very nice to me. But the fact that they had a boat land there [Greenland] 500 years ago doesn't mean they own the land. I'm sure we had lots of boats go there also."

The UK is quietly taking a leading role on Greenland, trying to persuade Trump he doesn’t need to take it over by demonstrating Europe is serious about Arctic security. In last 48 hours Starmer has spoken to Trump twice about the High North, as well as Frederiksen, Rutte, Macron, Merz. The UK this week deployed 1,500 Royal Marines commandos to northern Norway. It led discussion on the topic at NATO’s North Atlantic Council. Healey sent message to Danish counterpart. All suggests a larger British role than publicly advertised. Starmer has been telling Trump that Europe will do more in the Arctic and urging European counterparts to step up their security presence and cooperation with the US there

Russia's foreign ministry on the U.S. military's tanker seizure: "Washington’s readiness to provoke acute international crises, including in Russian-American relations, which are already severely strained, is both regrettable and alarming. The Marinera incident can only lead to a further escalation of military-political tensions in the Euro-Atlantic region and a dangerous lowering of the threshold for using force against civilian shipping"
