Putin Raises Alarm Over U.S. Intentions in Greenland, Calls Annexation Plans ‘Strategic

Russian President Vladimir Putin has voiced serious concerns over U.S. President Donald Trump’s repeated assertions about bringing Greenland under American control. Speaking at an Arctic forum in Murmansk on Thursday, Putin warned that the Arctic region is increasingly being viewed as a battleground for geopolitical influence.*

The U.S. administration has long-term strategic plans regarding Greenland,” “It would be a mistake to dismiss this as mere trump rhetoric. Putin stated, emphasizing that Washington’s interest in the island is deeply rooted in historical ambitions.

Putin pointed to NATO’s growing presence in the Arctic as a cause for concern. “There is a clear trend of militarization in the far north, and NATO is actively positioning the region as a potential conflict zone,” he remarked.

As geopolitical competition in the Arctic intensifies, Putin’s remarks highlight broader concerns over U.S. and NATO activities in the region. With U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance scheduled to visit Greenland’s American military base on Friday, tensions surrounding the Arctic’s future are expected to escalate further.
