Why Is Trump So Keen on Greenland?

Denmark's leader, Mette Frederiksen, has asked U. S. President Donald Trump to stop making threats about taking over Greenland. This comes after Trump said in an interview that the U. S. needs Greenland for defense. Frederiksen made it clear that the U. S. has no right to take over Greenland or any other part of the Danish Kingdom. Trump's interest in Greenland is not new. He has been talking about it for a while. He even appointed a special envoy to Greenland, which has made Denmark and Greenland unhappy. The U. S. sees Greenland as important because of its location and resources. It's near Europe and North America, which makes it a good spot for defense systems. Plus, it has lots of minerals, which the U. S. wants to use instead of relying on China.Greenland used to be a Danish colony, but now it's self-governing. It can choose to become independent, but it still gets a lot of help from Denmark. Denmark has been trying to fix its relationship with Greenland and also trying to get along better with the U. S. Frederiksen urged the U. S. to stop threatening a close ally. She said Greenland is not for sale. The people of Greenland have made it clear they don't want to be part of the U. S. It's important to respect their choice.
