Greenland Issue Heats Up, Trump Speaks Out
US President Donald Trump said he wants the United States to own Greenland, an autonomous territory belonging to Denmark. His remarks in an interview with The New York Times have rekindled global attention by touching on the issue of territorial sovereignty.
Trump emphasized that ownership of Greenland is "psychologically important" to the US. He also said he wants to "take care of Greenland properly," suggesting that he believes military access or treaties alone are insufficient compared to outright ownership.
This statement reinforces Trump's view that "ownership" offers strategic advantages that cannot be achieved through mere leases or treaties. In several media reports, Trump even implied that the Greenland issue could become a major consideration in US relations with European allies.
Despite this, Trump expressed confidence in maintaining good relations with Europe. "I think I'll always get along with Europe," Trump said, attempting to allay concerns that the Greenland issue would widen diplomatic distances with allies.
Financial markets have so far shown limited response, but the issue has the potential to inflame geopolitical dynamics, particularly given Greenland's strategic location in the Arctic, which is increasingly important for defense and global logistics.
