Trump's Greenland ambition sparks international debate
Axios reports that Danish authorities are in talks with Donald Trump's team about the security of Greenland. The US president-elect has suggested the possibility of acquiring the island, which has raised international controversies. Greenland is strategically important in the Arctic.
The Axios website reported that Danish authorities contacted Donald Trump's team concerning Greenland's security. According to two undisclosed sources, joint Danish-American actions or an increased US military presence on the island are being considered.
The US wants to acquire Greenland
Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark, has gained importance due to its strategic position in the Arctic. The island could be crucial for tracking missiles launched towards the US. The United States has a space base called Pituffik, further underscoring its significance.
US president-elect Donald Trump does not rule out using military or economic means to take control of Greenland. After taking office on January 20th, his administration might take action in this direction. Climate change and the melting of glaciers are increasing the island's economic significance. The island is rich in natural resources.
