US President Donald Trump has instructed the country's Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) to develop a detailed plan for the occupation of Greenland.

Axar.az informs that the British weekly "The Mail on Sunday" reported this, citing sources.

It is noted that Trump wants to annex Greenland based on its strategic location and mineral resources. He has repeatedly stated the importance of Greenland's accession to the United States.

During his first term as president, Trump proposed purchasing Greenland and expressed confidence that it could be annexed in March 2025. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen rejects these claims and emphasizes that the island is part of the kingdom.

Greenland is an autonomous territory of Denmark. In 1951, Washington and Copenhagen signed the Treaty on the Defense of Greenland in addition to their NATO alliance obligations. According to the treaty, the United States undertook to protect the island from potential aggression.
