Pentagon to redraw command map to more closely align Greenland with the US

The Pentagon’s move to shift its oversight of Greenland under U.S. Northern Command aligns with President Trump’s pledge to take control of the autonomous Danish territory.

The Pentagon is poised to shift its oversight of Greenland by putting it under U.S. Northern Command, a symbolic gesture that would more closely align the island territory with the U.S. as President Donald Trump continues to show interest in taking control over the Arctic landmass.

Under the plan, Greenland would shift from European Command’s jurisdiction to Northern Command, which is responsible for overseeing the security of North America, according to a DOD official and two people familiar with the planning. The people were granted anonymity to discuss the move ahead of its announcement.

The switch is the most concrete step yet in the Trump administration’s months-long effort to gain ownership over Greenland, an autonomous island aligned with Denmark.

Making Greenland part of Northcom will be heavily scrutinized in Denmark and throughout NATO, which has been uneasy over Trump’s months-long campaign to take control over the island and his refusal to rule out military action to seize territory. Denmark and the semi-autonomous Faroe Islands will remain under European Command, creating a symbolic and operational split between those territories and Greenland.

Putting Greenland under Northern Command would, in effect, cleave Greenland from Denmark when it comes to how the island is prioritized in policy discussions at the Pentagon and the White House.

In an interview with NBC last month, Trump said he would not rule out taking Greenland by military force. “I don’t say I’m going to do it, but I don’t rule out anything,” he said. “We need Greenland very badly.”

So, basically, when the Rugians were yelling about how Trump will end international intervention and eternal wars, he meant interventions against enemies who want to harm the USA and instead start wars with friends and allies
