Trump covets Greenland for its location. Here’s why
U.S. President Donald Trump has expressed interest in acquiring Greenland, a Danish territory, citing its strategic location for U.S. security. Greenland's government opposes the U.S. claims, and Trump's demands have caused tensions with NATO allies. The island's Arctic location is seen as crucial for Arctic trade and security amid climate change and international competition.
