Pelosi Highlights Low Greenland US Support Amid Trump Acquisition Push

Democratic Rep. Nancy Pelosi highlighted in multiple interviews that more Americans believe Elvis Presley is alive than Greenlanders interested in joining the United States, citing about 6% of Greenlanders favor U.S. acquisition. This comment came amid discussions about former President Donald Trump's interest in acquiring Greenland for strategic and resource benefits, a proposal met with skepticism from Democrats and some officials. Pelosi emphasized that the U.S. delegation's visit to Greenland focused on climate concerns, noting rapid Arctic ice melting reported by scientists. She suggested that cooperation with Greenland on climate and security issues would be beneficial, but stressed respect for Greenland's sovereignty and the will of its people. Greenland remains a Danish territory with a political landscape favoring independence, complicating any U.S. acquisition efforts. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has confirmed that the U.S. interest in Greenland is serious, despite some dismissive reactions.
