Heritage Foundation’s 900‑page Project 2025 report has drawn attention to Greenland as a key Arctic partner for a future Republican administration. The document urges the United States to strengthen diplomatic and economic ties with the autonomous Danish territory, citing Greenland’s strategic position and potential for trade and tourism. President Donald Trump has denied a direct link to the study, calling parts of it “ridiculous,” yet he has named several of its contributors for White House posts. The report’s Greenland section warns of growing Russian and Chinese interest in the Arctic and calls for NATO to recognise the region as a partial Arctic alliance. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Greenland’s premier Jens‑Frederik Nielsen have reiterated that the island is not for sale and that any U.S. engagement must respect Greenlandic sovereignty. Russian President Vladimir Putin denies Moscow’s interest in Greenland, and Danish Defence Chief Søren Andersen dismisses immediate threats from Russia or China. Negotiations continue, with U.S., Danish and Greenlandic officials emphasizing cooperation on security without compromising sovereignty.
