Trump claims that obtaining Greenland is crucial for the United States’ global security

U.S. President Donald Trump stated on Monday that it is essential for the United States to exert control over Greenland to maintain international security. These remarks were made during the signing of executive orders in the Oval Office on the first day of his second presidential term. Since his reelection in November, Trump has shown interest in incorporating Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark, into the U.S. He has not dismissed the possibility of utilizing military or economic means to encourage Denmark to relinquish control.

Prime Minister Mute Egede of Greenland, who has intensified efforts for the island’s independence, has consistently asserted that Greenland is not for sale and that the decision regarding its future lies with its inhabitants.
