Trump Threatens Military Action to Annex Greenland

Former President Donald Trump has renewed his calls for the United States to acquire Greenland, stating in a recent NBC interview that he would not rule out using military force to annex the Danish territory. Trump insists the US 'needs Greenland very badly' for international security, citing its strategic position between the US and Europe and its wealth of natural resources. Despite repeated rejections from Denmark and strong opposition from Greenlandic leaders and residents, Trump maintains that the territory is vital for national interests. Experts note that Greenland's location is significant for military defense and shipping routes, as well as for its untapped oil, gas, and rare earth minerals. Greenland's prime minister and Danish officials have firmly stated the island is not for sale and condemned any attempts at forced annexation. Trump's stance has heightened concerns about Arctic security as global powers compete for influence in the region.
