Why Trump Wants Greenland

President Trump has reiterated his desire for the United States to take control of Greenland, prompting strong opposition from Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Greenlandic Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen. Trump claims Greenland is vital for U.S. national security, arguing Denmark isn't adequately safeguarding it. Greenland's geostrategic location, particularly its position in the Arctic and its potential as a naval corridor, is a key factor. The island also possesses rare earth minerals crucial for advanced technologies. Frederiksen has urged the U.S. to cease its "threats," while Nielsen called Trump's rhetoric "unacceptable" and criticized linking Greenland to the situation in Venezuela.
