White House Deputy Chief of State for Policy Stephen Miller describes Greenland as “essential” to U.S. security and polar competition, noting it is larger than Alaska and arguing that under long‑standing concepts of territorial control, a state must be able to defend, improve, and inhabit the land it claims.
