The former UK ambassador to the US confirmed that President bDonald J. Trump/b had indicated he would not pursue a military approach to claim Greenland, according to a BBC interview. The statement was made by an office‑holder without the title “ambassador” but with a background that includes diplomatic service across the Atlantic.

In the same conversation, the former ambassador noted that presidential advisers would likely counsel against any aggressive action toward the Danish territory. The guidance from advisers is implied to be rooted in diplomatic protocols and international law, suggesting that a United States move to exert force would encounter significant opposition within the federal advisory panel.

The comments underscore the current political stance that the United States will not seek to alter the sovereignty of the Arctic region through force. This position aligns with the broader principle of respecting national borders and discourages potential escalation. As of the time of the interview, no official statements from the American government confirmed any shift in policy regarding Greenland.
