Stephen Miller sparked international backlash by claiming the U.S. should take over Greenland, despite no official action and Denmark’s sovereignty.

CNN interview, Stephen Miller, a top White House aide to President Donald Trump, asserted that the U.S. should take control of Greenland, claiming no nation would resist such a move and dismissing Denmark’s sovereignty. His remarks, made amid U.S. military actions in Venezuela, drew condemnation from Danish and Greenlandic leaders, NATO, and the European Union, who emphasized the territory’s status as an autonomous part of Denmark and a NATO ally. While Miller framed the idea as a strategic necessity, no official U.S. action has followed, and the administration has not pursued acquisition.
