Andreas Østhagen argues that direct US military action against Greenland is unlikely, but that sustained political pressure is a realistic and serious scenario. He points to Trump’s Greenland rhetoric as part of a longer-term strategy aimed at securing a symbolic and strategic win, rather than immediate annexation, with implications for Denmark, NATO cohesion, and Arctic security.
