Trump's nomination of ambassador to Denmark reignites Greenland ownership debate

timesnownews.com

Donald Trump has nominated Ken Howery as the U.S. ambassador to Denmark. This announcement has drawn attention after Trump suggested that the U.S. should take "ownership" of Greenland, calling it essential for national security. Greenland is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark, with its own government handling most domestic issues. Denmark oversees foreign affairs and defense, while Greenland's Prime Minister is Múte Bourup Egede. Trump's comments have sparked discussions on social media about Greenland's status. Neither Greenland nor Denmark has officially responded to Trump's remarks.
