Former US President Donald Trump has reignited his campaign for the United States to acquire Greenland, asserting that its current defense capabilities are negligible, humorously stating, 'Their defense is two dog sleds.' Trump underscored the strategic imperative for the US to gain ownership of the vast Arctic island, warning that a failure to do so could result in Russia or China asserting control over the territory. He cited an increasing presence of Russian and Chinese destroyers and submarines in the region as a significant threat. Trump clarified that his objective is outright acquisition, not a temporary lease, emphasizing the need for 'ownership' or 'title' for effective defense. Despite his strong assertions, Trump confirmed no formal offer had yet been presented to Denmark, of which Greenland is an autonomous territory, suggesting Greenland itself should initiate the deal. This renewed push follows previous discussions during his first term in 2019, which were met with firm rejections from both the Danish and Greenlandic governments, famously stating 'Greenland is not for sale.' European leaders have also collectively pushed back, reaffirming Greenland's right to self-determination and warning against actions that could destabilize NATO. The discussion highlights the escalating geopolitical importance of the Arctic region, particularly in the context of global power competition and national security concerns.
