TRUMP OFTEN SAYS HE WANTS TO BUY GREENLAND
Since taking office again, U.S. President Donald Trump has frequently expressed his desire to bring Greenland under U.S. control, stating at the White House that they "need to own Greenland" to ensure international security.
Trump expressed discomfort with Chinese and Russian ships roaming all over Greenland, stating that they do not trust Denmark or anyone else to "take care of this situation."
Meanwhile, U.S. Vice President JD Vance, who visited Greenland with his wife Usha Vance, U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright, and National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, stated in his remarks that the Danish government has not invested enough in the security of Greenland.
Vance said, "As you all know, this is a big issue and it will grow even more in the coming decades. We need to have more presence in Greenland." He expressed his belief that the people of Greenland would "ultimately align with the desire for control by the U.S. and the island" without the need for military force.
