The talks will center on Greenland's sovereignty and its strategic importance in the Arctic, according to sources familiar with the agenda. The island's location makes it a key area for military operations and resource extraction.
The upcoming summit follows a tour of a U.S. military base in Greenland by JD and Usha Vance in March 2025. The visit heightened speculation about U.S. intentions for the territory.
Greenlanders are closely watching the summit, with many expressing anxiety about potential impacts on their autonomy. "I would like to encourage (Donald Trump) to use both his ears wisely, to listen," one resident told reporters in Nuuk, Greenland's capital.
The meeting takes place against a backdrop of increasing geopolitical interest in the Arctic, driven by climate change and the opening of new shipping routes and resource opportunities. Greenland, as the world's largest island, holds significant strategic value in this evolving landscape.
The outcome of the summit could have far-reaching implications for Greenland's future, its relationship with Denmark, and the broader dynamics of the Arctic region. Further details are expected to be released following the conclusion of the meeting.
