Why Donald Trump Wants to Buy Greenland
==========
President-elect Donald Trump has revived his interest in purchasing Greenland, citing its importance for U.S. national security; Trump previously expressed interest in 2019, leading to a canceled visit to Denmark after Danish PM Mette Frederiksen called the idea 'absurd'; Greenland, with 56,000 residents, is rich in natural resources and hosts Thule Air Base; Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr., visited Greenland on Jan. 7, 2025, sparking speculation about U.S. intentions; Greenland's government stated the visit was private and that the island is 'not for sale'; Greenland's Prime Minister Múte Egede advocates for independence from Denmark; climate change is increasing Greenland's geopolitical significance; Trump's ambitions face opposition from both Greenlandic and Danish officials.
