VisitTrump Jr. Visits Greenland as Trump Threatens Tariffs to Acquire Territory for National and Economic Security
Jan 9, 2025, 04:30 AM
Donald Trump Jr. visited Greenland, arriving in Nuuk, the capital, to tour the island. The visit comes amid President-elect Donald Trump's renewed interest in acquiring Greenland, which he described as crucial for U.S. national security and economic security. Trump has not ruled out using military or economic action to take control of the territory, and has threatened to impose high tariffs on Denmark if it resists his efforts. Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory, is strategically important due to its location between the U.S. and Russia, and its rich deposits of natural resources including oil, gas, and rare earth minerals. The U.S. maintains a military presence at the Pituffik Space Base in Greenland's northwest, and the island's resources are seen as vital for the transition to green technologies.
