History

Historical Context

In 1946 the United States, via Secretary of State James F. Byrnes, offered Denmark $100 million for Greenland, a proposal Denmark rejected and that set a Cold-War precedent. Decades later, President Donald Trump revived the claim in 2025, threatening tariffs and military action, prompting Denmark and NATO allies to reaffirm collective defence of the island.
