Trump Calls for U.S. Control of Greenland, Citing National Security Needs as 'Absolute Necessity'
Dec 23, 2024, 06:38 AM
President-elect Donald Trump has called for the United States to acquire Greenland, asserting that ownership of the island is an 'absolute necessity' for national security and freedom. In a series of statements, Trump emphasized that the U.S. feels the need for control over Greenland, a self-governing territory of Denmark, to ensure security interests both domestically and globally. He stated, '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 position revives discussions from his previous administration when he expressed interest in purchasing the territory, which was met with resistance from Denmark. Trump's remarks have reignited the debate over Greenland's strategic importance, particularly in light of its vast natural resources, including rare earth minerals essential for modern technology.
