Greenland is the world’s largest island, located in the North Atlantic Ocean, lying between the Arctic and Atlantic oceans, northeast of Canada and northwest of Iceland. No one really talked about Greenland much until President Trump said, “let’s buy Greenland. Why not?”
Why does President Trump have his eye on Greenland? Well, for one thing Greenland is strategically located near the Arctic Circle, which is becoming increasingly important due to melting ice caps opening new shipping routes and access to natural resources.

Also there is the matter of National security, the US already has a presence with Pituffik Space Base (formerly Thule Air Base), which is crucial for missile defense and space surveillance. Control over Greenland would enhance US military capabilities in the region, especially in the context of countering Russian and Chinese interests in the Arctic.
Maybe one of the most important reasons is that Greenland is rich in untapped natural resources such as rare earth minerals, oil, and natural gas. These resources are crucial for modern technology, especially in areas like electric vehicle batteries and renewable energy technologies. The demand for these resources is high, and securing them would reduce US dependency on foreign supplies, particularly from China.
President Trump has likened the acquisition to a “real estate deal,” indicating his approach to international policy can sometimes reflect his real estate background, focusing on transactions that benefit the US directly. And you know Trump made his wealth in real estate wheeling and dealing.

Will the US acquire Greenland? Right now the people of Greenland are opposed to that concept, becoming part of the US, preferring autonomy or independence under the Danish Realm. Both Greenland and Denmark have firmly stated that Greenland is not for sale, asserting its right to self-determination.
Maybe Greenland is not for sale…yet. But one thing we have all learned is, don’t bet against President Trump!
