Group 1 - The U.S. Secretary of State Rubio will meet with Danish officials next week to discuss the future of Greenland, with the U.S. considering options to "purchase" the island, including the potential use of military force [1][2][3] - Greenland, the world's largest island, is rich in resources and currently has a U.S. military base. The island's defense and foreign affairs are managed by Denmark, while it enjoys a high degree of internal autonomy [2][4] - Former President Trump has repeatedly stated the strategic importance of Greenland and has expressed intentions to acquire it, appointing a special envoy to promote U.S. interests in the region [2][3] Group 2 - The U.S. is exploring multiple options to acquire Greenland, but all options have significant flaws. Military acquisition could lead to domestic backlash and damage NATO relations, while purchasing the island requires support from both Denmark and the Greenlandic government [4] - A potential third option is to support Greenland's independence, which could facilitate a future "Compact of Free Association" similar to agreements with the Marshall Islands, allowing the U.S. military presence and trade benefits [4] - The Danish government has increased defense spending in response to U.S. ambitions regarding Greenland and has reiterated that it will not sell the island. Recent polls indicate that the Greenlandic population does not wish to become part of the U.S. [4][5]
