Donald Trump has once again raised the possibility of the United States purchasing Greenland. Speaking at a rally, Trump stated that acquiring the island nation would be a step towards achieving world peace. He pointed to the growing presence of Russia and China in the Arctic as a reason for the U.S. to assert its influence in the region.
Trump first floated the idea of buying Greenland during his first term in office. The proposal was met with resistance from Danish officials, who maintain that Greenland is not for sale. Despite the previous rejection, Trump appears to be revisiting the idea.
The timing of Trump's comments coincides with a visit from Vance, though the nature of the visit and whether it relates to Greenland remain undisclosed. The renewed interest in Greenland raises questions about U.S. strategy in the Arctic and the potential implications for international relations.
