House Speaker Mike Johnson<\/a>, R-La., pushed back on the idea that the U.S. would intervene militarily in Greenland, saying he does not anticipate war or U.S. troops being deployed there.<\/p>\n

Johnson told The Hill<\/a> there is no declaration of war pending for Greenland and said he does not expect any boots on the ground.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019ve been very clear. I mean, the Article 1 branch is clear. There\u2019s no declaration of war pending for Greenland,” Johnson said. “It\u2019s just not a thing. I don\u2019t anticipate any boots on the ground anywhere, anytime soon.”<\/p>\n

Johnson echoed the foreign policy objectives of President Trump, noting the administration views Greenland as strategically important to U.S. interests.<\/p>\n

“Look, there are negotiations. There is interest in Greenland. For U.S. interests, America\u2019s first interest,” Johnson said.<\/p>\n

“It has to do with national security and critical minerals and many other reasons. And we\u2019ve long acknowledged that,” he added.<\/p>\n

Trump has made acquiring Greenland<\/a> a key strategic and national security objective, warning last week that if the United States does not acquire the territory, superpowers Russia or China could move in.<\/p>\n

He said Sunday the U.S. must acquire Greenland \u2014 not lease it \u2014 arguing the Arctic territory lacks adequate defenses and warning that Russia or China would move in if Washington does not act, a move he said is critical to U.S. and NATO security.<\/p>\n

Greenland has rejected Trump\u2019s repeated advances, and on Tuesday the island\u2019s prime minister<\/a> said the country would prefer to remain part of Denmark rather than become a U.S. territory.<\/p>\n

“We face a geopolitical crisis, and if we have to choose between the U.S. and Denmark here and now then we choose Denmark,” Greenland Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen said while appearing alongside Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen at a joint press conference in Copenhagen.<\/p>\n

“We stand united in the Kingdom of Denmark.”<\/p>\n

Johnson\u2019s comments come as bipartisan lawmakers move to<\/a> restrict any unauthorized U.S. military action against NATO allies amid growing debate over Trump\u2019s remarks about Greenland.<\/p>\n

Rep. Bill Keating, D-Mass., is leading legislation that would block funding for military action taken without congressional approval, arguing the effort is aimed at preventing U.S. intervention against allied nations.<\/p>\n

“This isn\u2019t just about Greenland. This is about our security,” Keating said.<\/p>\n

The push follows Trump\u2019s statement Friday that the U.S. would act on Greenland “whether they like it<\/a> or not,” raising alarm among European leaders over a potential violation of NATO\u2019s collective defense commitments.<\/p>\n

The developments also come as Denmark\u2019s foreign minister, Lars L\u00f8kke Rasmussen, and Greenland\u2019s foreign minister, Vivian Motzfeldt, are expected to meet Wednesday with Secretary of State Marco Rubio<\/a> and Vice President JD Vance at the White House, according to Reuters.<\/p>\n
