The United States reportedly considered the use of military force as a potential option in a bid to acquire Greenland. While a purchase was initially discussed, and Senator Marco Rubio indicated former President Trump’s desire to buy the territory, the possibility of a more forceful takeover was also on the table.

This revelation has prompted concern among European allies, particularly France, who are now discussing a coordinated response to a potential US intervention. The situation echoes past instances of US involvement in foreign territories, such as Venezuela, where interventionist policies were debated and implemented.

Sources suggest the exploration of military options wasn’t merely a rhetorical threat. The US has demonstrated expansionist tendencies, and Greenland’s strategic importance – particularly its geographical location and potential resources – makes it a valuable asset. While a military action appears to have been downplayed by some officials, the fact it was considered at all raises significant geopolitical questions and anxieties about future US foreign policy.
