Trump renews push for U.S. to buy Greenland citing national security

Donald Trump, the president-elect, is once again advocating for the U.S. to purchase Greenland from Denmark, calling it essential for national security. This follows his previous unsuccessful attempts during his first term. Trump's renewed interest in Greenland comes alongside comments about reclaiming the Panama Canal, which the U.S. relinquished in 1999. He claims the U.S. is being "ripped off" by rising shipping costs. Greenland's government has rejected Trump's proposals, asserting that the island is not for sale. The head of government emphasized their commitment to maintaining their autonomy and freedom.
