Conservative commentator Megyn Kelly said she agrees with President Donald Trump’s position on Greenland, arguing that the United States needs the Arctic territory, while stressing that it should not be acquired through military action.

I actually think Trump’s right about Greenland. Not by military action, but we do need it.

“I actually think Trump’s right about Greenland. Not by military action, but we do need it,” Kelly said in a post reacting to the ongoing international debate sparked by Trump’s push to bring Greenland under U.S. control.

Kelly’s comments come as Trump has intensified his rhetoric around Greenland, repeatedly framing the island as critical to U.S. and global security. The president has argued that Greenland’s strategic location between North America and the Arctic makes it essential for missile early-warning systems, military surveillance, and countering the influence of Russia and China in the region. While Trump has said he prefers to acquire Greenland through diplomatic or economic means, his refusal to rule out pressure tactics has drawn sharp criticism from European leaders.

Greenland’s government and Denmark, which oversees the semi-autonomous territory, have firmly rejected the idea of U.S. control, insisting the island is not for sale. The dispute has strained relations between Washington and several European allies, particularly as Trump has floated trade tariffs and other measures against countries opposing his plan.

Kelly’s endorsement places her among a group of Trump allies and conservative voices who argue that U.S. control of Greenland is a strategic necessity rather than an act of expansionism. Her emphasis on non-military means aligns with statements from administration officials who have suggested purchasing the territory or negotiating long-term security arrangements rather than using force.

The comments also fit within Kelly’s broader support for Trump’s national security and immigration agenda, including her vocal backing of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Kelly has repeatedly defended ICE operations, arguing that the agency plays a critical role in removing dangerous criminals and maintaining public safety, a position that mirrors Trump’s own rhetoric about law enforcement and border security.

As debate over Greenland continues, Kelly’s remarks highlight a growing divide in U.S. political discourse: while critics warn Trump’s approach risks destabilizing alliances, supporters argue that securing Greenland is a pragmatic step driven by defense realities in an increasingly contested Arctic. By backing Trump’s goal but rejecting military action, Kelly staked out a position that reflects both strategic urgency and concern over how such a move would be carried out.
