President Donald Trump has ordered senior U.S. military leaders to draw up contingency plans for a possible invasion of Greenland, a step that could fracture the Western alliance and destabilize North Atlantic Treaty Organization, according to a report published Saturday.

The report, citing unnamed sources, said Trump directed the Joint Special Operations Command to prepare plans for seizing the Arctic island, an autonomous territory under Danish sovereignty. The account was first reported by the Daily Mail, which said the directive has sparked significant pushback within the U.S. military.
Trump has repeatedly expressed interest in gaining control of Greenland, arguing the island is strategically vital for U.S. security and necessary to counter Russian and Chinese activity in the Arctic. He has previously declined to rule out the use of military force, a position that has put Washington at odds with European allies who have publicly rallied behind Denmark.
According to the report, senior members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff have resisted the idea, warning that an invasion would be illegal and lack authorization from Congress. One source told the outlet that top generals have attempted to divert Trump’s attention toward less contentious options, including potential military action elsewhere.
The account said the push for Greenland intensified after recent U.S. military action in Venezuela, with several Trump advisers urging swift action to secure the island before Moscow or Beijing could increase their presence in the region. Among those cited as backing the effort was political adviser Stephen Miller.
Diplomatic officials quoted in the report warned that a move against Greenland could shatter NATO cohesion. One source described the scenario as risking “the destruction of NATO from the inside,” adding that some European officials believe provoking such a rupture may be a goal of hardline figures surrounding Trump. Occupying Greenland, the source suggested, could force European states to abandon the alliance altogether.
British diplomats cited in the report said some allies suspect Trump views the Greenland issue as a way to shift domestic attention ahead of U.S. midterm elections. Under that assessment, Trump could pursue a confrontational posture initially before pivoting toward negotiations.
