In his recent address to a joint session of Congress, President Donald Trump reaffirmed his interest in the United States acquiring Greenland. He emphasized the island's strategic importance for both national and global security. Trump expressed a welcoming stance towards the people of Greenland, stating that they would be embraced by the U.S. should they choose to become part of the nation. He further promised that integration with the U.S. would ensure both the safety and prosperity of Greenland, propelling the island to unprecedented levels of achievement.

Trump's inclusion of this topic in his congressional address underscores his continued commitment to the idea, which he has previously voiced on social media platforms. He has asserted that Greenland's ownership and control are essential for U.S. national security and global freedom. Furthermore, he has expressed his belief that Greenland and its people would greatly benefit from becoming part of the United States, promising protection and prosperity.

While Greenland possesses its own local government, it remains a part of the Realm of Denmark, according to official Danish sources.
