Trump's Greenland Ambition: National Security, Minerals, and Global Flood Threat
- •US President Donald Trump aims to acquire Greenland for national security, citing Russian and Chinese influence.
- •Greenland, an autonomous territory under Denmark, and its people oppose US acquisition, leading to failed White House meetings.
- •Trump threatens to take Greenland by force, despite Denmark being a NATO ally; European nations support Denmark.
- •Greenland is strategically important for Arctic control and rich in rare earth minerals and uranium, made accessible by melting ice.
- •Increased mining in Greenland could accelerate ice melt, contributing to rising sea levels and extreme weather globally, including in India.
