Newly elected President of the United States, Donald Trump indicated on the Truth Social platform that “ownership and control of Greenland” is an “absolute necessity” for the United States.
What if the USA bought Greenland? In any case, this is the desire of the new President of the United States, Donald Trump, who renewed his wish to acquire Danish territory on the Truth Social platform. “For national security and freedom throughout the world, the United States of America believes that ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity.”, he said.
This desire to acquire this gigantic island, which is four times the size of France, is not new for the man recently elected President of the United States, since he had already expressed this desire openly in 2019 during his previous mandate. . Donald Trump then spoke of a “big real estate transaction“judged”strategically interesting“. In addition to an immense territory, the resources found there, such as oil, gas, diamonds, uranium, lead and zinc, arouse covetousness. On the other hand, the melting of the glaciers opens up new maritime routes, which means that this territory is today coveted by the United States, Russia and China.
The scathing response from the Greenlandic Prime Minister
It did not take long for a response from Greenland's Prime Minister, Mute Egede, to be heard. The day after this remarkable statement from Donald Trump,
“Greenland is ours. We are not for sale, and we never will be. We will continue our fight for freedom”he declared in a Facebook post before continuing : “We must remain open to cooperation and international trade, particularly with our neighbors.“As a reminder, this territory under the supervision of Denmark has already been the subject of purchase proposals. The first in 1867 and the second in 1946, both refused by Denmark.
