The publication claims that the U.S. has military resources for a possible forceful seizure of this island. However, such an operation against a NATO ally could have serious consequences for the alliance and lead to a negative reaction from the local population.
Furthermore, The Times discusses the possibility of signing a Compact of Free Association, which implies that the U.S. would provide financial assistance while Greenland would transfer its defense obligations to Washington, maintaining internal governance.
Another option being considered is a proposal to Copenhagen for the purchase of Greenland. It is also possible for the island to remain part of Denmark, while increasing the American military presence on its territory.
Analysts suggest that the most likely scenario will not involve direct intervention but will be based on a combination of economic pressure, political influence, and diplomatic efforts.
