Stephen Miller Intensifies Assertions to Take Over the Arctic Territory
A key figure from Donald Trump's senior advisors has ramped up the pressure on the Danish government by disputing Copenhagen’s claim to the vast Arctic island.
Force Deemed Unnecessary
The president’s deputy chief of staff, stated emphatically the use of armed force would not be needed to assume control of the northern landmass because “no nation would engage the United States militarily over the future of Greenland”.
“What do you mean military action against Greenland? Its population numbers just a population of 30,000 people,” he incorrectly stated, despite the actual figure being closer to 57,000.
Miller further proposed that Copenhagen lacks a valid claim to the territory, which is a former Danish colony and remains part of the Danish kingdom.
Growing Tensions
Miller’s comments come amid growing tensions between the US and Denmark after the US president’s renewed calls to annex Greenland.
A key parliamentary committee in Denmark has convened an extraordinary meeting to examine the bilateral ties with the United States.
In his interview, Miller told CNN that control over Greenland could be gained without military intervention due to its small population.
Questioning Danish Sovereignty
“The core issue is on what grounds does Denmark have to exercise sovereignty over Greenland? What legal foundation of their territorial claim?” he asked.
Miller continued: “The US is the power of NATO. For the US to protect Arctic interests to defend NATO, obviously Greenland should be incorporated into the United States.”
There was, he said “no need to even consider or discuss” a military operation in Greenland, reiterating: “Nobody is going to fight the US over this issue.”
Global Responses
His comments followed Trump said over the weekend, fresh from other foreign policy actions, that the US needed Greenland “urgently”.
Denmark's leader, Mette Frederiksen, reacted by saying that an American aggression against a NATO ally would mean the collapse of the military alliance and “post-Second World War security”.
Greenland’s prime minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, also made a forceful rebuke, urging Trump to abandon his “notions of acquisition” and labeled American rhetoric of being “wholly inappropriate”.
Historical Context and Current Stance
The aide's assertions came after his wife, a conservative commentator, posted a digital image of Greenland draped in a US flag with the caption “IN THE NEAR FUTURE”.
When questioned on the online image, he responded by stating: “It has been the official stance of the US government since the beginning of this administration... Donald Trump has been explicit about that.”
Greenland remained a colony until 1953, when it became part of the Danish realm. The US has had a military base there, important for its ballistic missile early warning system.
Recently, there has been increasing sentiment for self-rule, particularly after revelations about historical policies of Greenlandic people.
However, facing the prospect of Trump’s threat, Greenland in March established a new coalition government in a show of national unity, with its founding document declaring: “We are the rightful owners of Greenland.”
