Trump Calls for U.S. Purchase of Greenland, Citing 'Absolute Necessity' for Ownership and Control, Announces Ken Howery as Ambassador
Dec 23, 2024, 03:46 AM
President-elect Donald Trump has reiterated his call for the United States to purchase Greenland, emphasizing that ownership is crucial for national security and freedom. In a statement, Trump declared, "For purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World, the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity." This announcement coincided with his nomination of Ken Howery as the U.S. ambassador to Denmark. Trump's remarks reflect a long-standing interest in Greenland, which he previously attempted to acquire during his presidency in 2019. The emphasis on Greenland's ownership aligns with broader strategic interests, as Trump has also suggested that the U.S. could reclaim control of the Panama Canal.
