US President Donald Trump has posted a series of messages on Truth Social suggesting that Greenland is now part of the United States, escalating rhetoric around his long-standing interest in taking control of the Arctic island, which he has previously justified on “national security” grounds.

In one post, Trump shared an image of a map of the US that included Greenland and Canada as part of US territory.

The post also featured Trump seated inside the Oval Office alongside several Nato leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, among others.

In a separate Truth Social post, Trump appeared alongside Vice President J.D. Vance and secretary of state Marco Rubio, with the trio shown hoisting a US flag in Greenland. A sign placed nearby read: “Greenland, US territory, EST. 2026.”

The posts have drawn sharp attention in Europe, particularly in Denmark, which governs Greenland as an autonomous territory. Reacting to the developments, Denmark’s economy minister warned that the issue could not be handled lightly if tensions continue to rise.
