Trump's Greenland Acquisition Proposal Faces Resistance

President-elect Donald Trump's proposal to acquire Greenland has been met with widespread resistance both within Greenland and internationally. Most Greenlandic politicians and the general populace favor remaining an autonomous part of Denmark, with only a minority supporting closer ties to the U.S. for economic reasons. A USA Today poll reveals that only 11% of Americans support the acquisition. Greenland's Prime Minister, Múte Egede, has emphasized that Greenlanders wish to remain independent and not become part of the U.S., although they value strong cooperation with the country. Trump's suggestion to use military or economic pressure to obtain Greenland has been criticized. Additionally, Donald Trump Jr.'s visit to Greenland was viewed as a publicity stunt.
