President Donald Trump has renewed his push for the United States to acquire Greenland. He argues obtaining the territory, by purchase or other means, is a national security necessity.
Greenland is a semi-autonomous part of Denmark, a close U.S. and NATO ally. When Trump first proposed buying it in 2019, the idea was widely seen as unrealistic.
The renewed proposition is causing fresh alarm in European capitals. It follows the recent abduction of Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro, underscoring Trump's focus on strategic territorial control.
