Trump renews interest in buying Greenland citing national security concerns
scmp.com —
Donald Trump has revived his interest in purchasing Greenland, citing its strategic importance for U.S. national security amid the ongoing Ukraine war. He previously proposed buying the territory in 2019, but Denmark rejected the offer. Trump emphasized that U.S. ownership of Greenland is essential for national defense, highlighting its military significance due to its location between the Arctic and North Atlantic. Greenland hosts a U.S. airbase and radar station. The Danish government and Greenland's representatives have reiterated that the island is not for sale. Denmark's Prime Minister previously called Trump's proposal "absurd."
