Trump's post-election statements renewing interest in acquiring Greenland for U.S. national security and Arctic strategic positioning have reignited discussion, but traders price a 90.8% "No" probability reflecting entrenched diplomatic barriers. Denmark's government, led by Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, has repeatedly affirmed Greenland's non-negotiable sovereignty since Trump's 2019 overture, echoed recently by Greenland Premier Mute Egede declaring it "not for sale." No formal negotiations exist, and such a territorial transfer would face unprecedented international opposition, legal hurdles under UN frameworks, and domestic resistance in Denmark's parliament. While executive actions or bilateral summits before 2027 could theoretically shift dynamics, historical precedents like the Alaska purchase underscore the rarity, cementing trader consensus on infeasibility.

Sovereignty is defined as the transfer of the majority of the territory of Greenland from its current status as an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark to being under the formal governance or jurisdiction of the United States, either as a state, territory, or other classification within the US system.
An official announcement made by the United States and Denmark that Greenland will come under US sovereignty will qualify, even if the actual transfer of sovereignty is yet to occur. Only announcements of official agreements or actions (e.g. executive order, signed legislation, etc.) will count - mere posts on Social Media will not.
The resolution source for this market will be official information from the governments of the US, Greenland, and Denmark, however a consensus of credible reporting confirming that Greenland has come under U.S. sovereignty will also qualify.
