Denmark's government announced a defense package for Greenland worth at least $1.5 billion after President-elect Donald Trump reiterated that he wants the US to purchase the Arctic territory. Danish defense minister Troels Lund Poulsen stated that the investment was planned prior to Trump's comments, highlighting the strategic importance of Greenland in a shifting geopolitical landscape.
Greenland, with a population of roughly 56,000, is between the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans and holds strategic value due to its natural resources and proximity to the Arctic. Trump's insistence on ownership reflects broader geopolitical tensions as Russia and China become more active in the region while Denmark navigates its role as a US ally.
