- Will Trump acquire Greenland before 2027?1¢1%
Recent diplomatic developments have solidified trader expectations that no transfer of Greenland's sovereignty to the United States will occur before 2027. A September 2026 trilateral security agreement, ratified by Greenland's parliament in early November, expands U.S. military access, permits new defense areas and facilities such as elements of the Golden Dome system, and excludes adversaries from sensitive investments while explicitly reaffirming Danish sovereignty and Greenland's right to self-determination. Denmark's parliament is scheduled to complete its review later in November. Consistent public statements from Danish and Greenlandic leaders rejecting any sale or annexation, combined with the limited time remaining before the market's December 31, 2026 resolution window, underpin the 98.8% implied probability on No. A sudden reversal in Copenhagen or Nuuk positions remains the primary low-probability pathway that could still shift the outcome.
Rules
This market will resolve to "Yes" if the United States officially announces that Greenland will come under US sovereignty by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise this market will resolve to "No". 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.
