Denmark's government and Greenland's leaders have consistently rejected any sale or transfer of the territory, with Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen reiterating in December 2024 that "Greenland is not Danish. Greenland is Greenlandic," directly responding to President-elect Trump's renewed interest expressed in post-election interviews. Trump's 2019 proposal similarly prompted outright dismissal and a canceled state visit, underscoring sovereignty barriers under international law that make acquisition improbable without mutual consent. Absent diplomatic breakthroughs or leverage, traders price in overwhelming odds against U.S. control by 2027, reflecting historical precedent and current geopolitical realities where such territorial deals remain exceedingly rare.

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.
