Trump Revives Interest in Greenland, Citing Strategic and Economic Benefits

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has reignited his interest in making Greenland a part of the United States, emphasizing the island’s strategic military importance and mineral wealth. In a series of posts on Truth Social, Trump stated, “Greenland is an incredible place, and the people will benefit tremendously if, and when, it becomes part of our Nation.” He added, “This is a deal that must happen,” as his son, Donald Trump Jr., made a private visit to Greenland.

Greenland, a semi-sovereign territory under the Danish realm, has been part of Denmark for over 600 years. The island holds significant strategic value for the U.S. military, particularly for its ballistic missile early-warning system. The U.S. maintains a permanent presence at the Pituffik air base in Greenland’s northwest and has expressed interest in expanding its military presence.

The island is also rich in minerals, oil, and natural gas, with a 2023 survey revealing that 25 of 34 minerals deemed “critical raw materials” by the European Commission are found in Greenland. However, environmental concerns and opposition from indigenous people have slowed development.

Greenland Prime Minister Mute Egede has reiterated that the island is not for sale and that its future should be determined by its people. Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the need for close cooperation with the U.S. while respecting Greenland’s autonomy.

Trump’s renewed interest comes amid heightened tensions between Greenland and Denmark, following historical revelations of misconduct by the former colonial ruler. Despite the strategic and economic allure, both Greenland and Denmark have firmly rejected Trump’s proposals, underscoring Greenland’s right to self-determination.
