Since the beginning of 2025, the U.S. has repeatedly expressed its desire to acquire Greenland, even suggesting that the use of force is not out of the question. On January 12, 2026, Randy Fine, a Republican congressman from Florida, proposed a bill to take all necessary measures to annex Greenland and ultimately make it "officially a state of the United States."

CGTN Stringer interviewed several Greenlandic residents to hear their views. A local, Alibak Hard, stated, "They (the U.S. government) don't care anything about the indigenous people. You can see the first nations in the U.S.; they are being put in the reservation. They don't have the same human rights." He also expressed his concerns, saying, "If they take over, God forbid it, we will be second rank."
