Why Greenland? Trump eyes control of world's biggest island DW 01/08/2025
Briefly

"As someone who has travelled to some fascinating places across the globe as an outdoorsman, I'm excited to stop into Greenland for a little bit of fun this week," Trump Jr. told Fox News before his visit, highlighting his enthusiasm for adventure amidst political undertones.
Asked Tuesday whether he could promise not to use military or economic coercion to gain control of the Panama Canal and Greenland, Trump said: 'No, I can't assure you on either of those two. But I can say this, we need them for economic security.' This admission raises significant questions about intentions regarding Greenland's status.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Wednesday expressed that EU leaders were taken aback by Trump's failure to reject military action against Greenland, indicating a serious international concern regarding US foreign policy dynamics.
Since winning the US presidential election in November, Donald Trump has expressed desires for US control over territories beyond its borders, raising eyebrows and concern in the international community. This has initiated discussions about the future of Greenland and its autonomy.
