short article 1 min

In early 2026, President Donald Trump aggressively pursued the United States taking control of Greenland, an autonomous Danish Arctic territory. He justified the potential takeover by citing Greenland's strategic military importance and mineral resources as essential for U.S. national security. Trump's actions caused international controversy and strained transatlantic relations as Danish and Greenlandic leaders resisted the pressure. Al Jazeera documented the political drama, including Trump's threats of economic tariffs against European countries with a military presence on the island. The coverage also focused on the impact of these threats on the local Inuit population living near the icecap.
