‘Military Always An Option’: Donald Trump Discusses Greenland Acquisition

After having authority over Venezuela, followed by the capture of its president, Nicolas Maduro, during a US military operation, Donald Trump now sees the acquisition of Greenland as a national priority.

According to White House, the American military has always remained an option. This statement has raised tensions between the United States and Denmark, a key NATO ally.

The warning came despite Greenland and Denmark's willingness to meet with US officials to clear misunderstandings between them.

But the talks didn’t take place. This renewed interest in Greenland by Trump is connected with the current US military strike in Venezuela, which has raised serious concerns on the global front.

Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory in the Arctic, is known for its treasure of rare earth minerals. It holds importance for its polar melting ice that opens the new shipping routes.
