A Danish Member of the European Parliament had some pointed words for President Donald Trump. As he did during his first term, Trump has expressed interest in attempting to acquire Greenland – the large and autonomous Danish territory between Canada and Iceland. Politicians in Denmark and Greenland have said the territory is not for sale.

Observers doubt the new US president will buy the world's largest island but his interest underlines its strategic importance President Donald Trump's claim that US ownership and control of Greenland is "an absolute necessity" has underlined the strategic importance of the world's largest island in terms of American missile defences and anti-submarine operations.

As a rapidly developing Third World War engulfs the globe in flames, the Arctic and Arctic Ocean have become a major arena of conflict in the imperialist drive to re-divide the world.

It may be too extreme for Canada or Denmark to view the U.S. as an enemy in the wake of Trump annexation threats, but the line between enmity and amity is currently blurred.

President-elect Donald Trump plans significant foreign policy changes, including acquiring Greenland, reassessing NATO's role, and imposing tariffs on Mexico and Canada. Trump aims to reshape U.S. alliances and economic strategies with a focus on national security and trade.

President-elect Donald Trump's recent comments on Greenland has put the world's largest island, a district of Denmark, to the top of many foreign policy discussions. Experts weigh in on its importance to US national security.

Greenland’s prime minister weighed in on President-elect Trump’s proposal to acquire the island territory, arguing that the nation intends to keep working toward independence from Denmark.

Trump’s concern about the Far North is a legitimate one; he is right to seek a more robust defense against potential Chinese or Russian operations in that region.

"We are, quite frankly, the dominant predator cop, if you will. But it's important that we fight back against China and send them back to their own hemisphere."
