Greenland Part of US Contract Rises To 61% Record Before Retreating: Jan. 22, 2026

Greenland Part of US Contract Rises To 61% Record Before Retreating: Jan. 22, 2026

Turbulent developments in Davos involving tariff threats against certain European countries sent the odds of any portion of Greenland becoming part of the US in some capacity up to a record of 61%. But then, a framework set by President Trump and NATO Chief Mark Rutte, whose details remain fluid and uncertain, sparked volatility in this contract on Thursday, as investors grappled with the sovereignty implications of a greater American presence in the self-governed Danish territory. A common question is whether the White House will be satisfied controlling parts of the world’s largest island without it formally belonging to Washington. The probability sank to 44% following the spike.

Forecast contract - Will any portion of Greenland become a US state territory, or other federal jurisdiction by December 31, 2028?
