The U.S. president's entourage believes it is necessary to act swiftly.
Washington is discussing the scenario of a dramatic increase in the U.S. presence in the Arctic amid concerns about the growing influence of other world powers, causing tension both within the U.S. and among NATO allies.
This is reported by Daily Mail.
Greenland Plan
U.S. President Donald Trump has instructed the Joint Special Operations Command to develop a plan for a possible invasion of Greenland.
Sources say the president's inner circle believes it is necessary to act swiftly to establish control over the island before Russia or China does.
It is noted that a strong supporter of the idea is homeland security adviser Stephen Miller.
Venezuela Factor
Sources say the White House is inspired by the recent U.S. operation in Venezuela that captured former President Nicolas Maduro.
The operation is seen as an example that quick and decisive action can yield results in other regions as well.
Military Resistance
At the same time, U.S. staff leaders, according to the publication, are skeptical of the plans.
The military points out that an invasion of Greenland would be illegal and would not receive congressional approval.
One diplomatic source said the generals believe Trump's initiative is "crazy and illegal" and are trying to shift the president's attention to other military projects.
"They say it's akin to talking to a five-year-old," the publication quoted the source as saying.
Context and status of the island
Greenland is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark and has had extended self-government rights since 2009.
After returning to the White House in January 2025, Trump has repeatedly stated his intention to incorporate the island into the United States, calling it "absolutely essential" to American defense in an interview with The Atlantic.
He has also previously allowed for action without the consent of Greenland's residents, citing the need to deter Russia and China.
