- Netanyahu’s 2018 AIPAC clip about Greenland is going viral again.
- The resurgence comes amid renewed U.S. attention on Greenland under Trump.
A clip of 'Israeli' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s 2018 remarks at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s (AIPAC) annual policy conference in Washington, D.C., in which he suggested building diplomatic ties with Greenland, is going viral again amid renewed attention on U.S. President Donald Trump’s intensified focus on the Arctic territory.
In the original speech, Netanyahu highlighted 'Israel’s' global economic and security strengths, including its leading role in cybersecurity, before quipping about expanding diplomatic relations around the world, and joking about “doing something with Greenland” to explore potential cooperation.
The clip has regained traction on social media as Trump’s recent comments about Greenland have dominated international news.
Trump’s Renewed Emphasis on Greenland
At the World Economic Forum in Davos in January 2026, Trump reiterated his administration’s interest in securing what he described as expanded U.S. engagement with Greenland, a self‑governing territory of Denmark that is strategically located in the Arctic. Trump said the U.S. is negotiating an agreement that would offer “total access” to Greenland without time limits, though the full terms are not yet clear.
Earlier comments by Trump have included threats of tariffs against European allies unless Denmark agreed to cede control of the island, as well as suggestions that the United States might eventually acquire Greenland in some form. While Trump has publicly stated he would not use military force to obtain the territory, his persistence on the issue has drawn significant international attention and debate.
Why the Netanyahu Clip Matters Now
The Netanyahu clip has resurfaced because it touched on Greenland long before the territory became a flashpoint in U.S. foreign policy.
Social media users have shared the clip with comments about Trump’s current Greenland agenda, which critics describe as an “obsession” and which has stirred debates about sovereignty, NATO alliances, and Arctic geopolitics.
