Trump wants Greenland. Greenland does not want to be judged at all.

Danish officials said President Donald Trump several times that Greenland was “not for sale”.

Trump does not seem to worry about it.

The president continues to promote his vision of the management of Greenland, a semi-self-automobile territory in Denmark, arguing that the island is necessary to strengthen American security and its stocks of strategic resources.

During his spouse in the congress at the beginning of the month, the president said that the United States would take control of Greenland “in one way or another.” And recently, Trump refused to exclude military force.

Vice-president JD Vance and his wife, USHA, arrived in Greenland on Friday, embarking on a reduced trip which included a stop at the Pituffik space base operated by the United States on the northwest coast of the island. But even before the American delegation arrived, they encountered wide opposition to Trump’s annexed plans.

This is why the United States has shown so much interest in Greenland in the middle of the territory’s own pressure for independence.

‘We must have it’

Before Vance in Greenland, Trump said that the island was necessary for “international security and security”.

“We need it. We must have it,” he told Podcaster Vince Coglianese during a recent interview. “I hate saying that way, but we’ll have to have it.”

The feeling is not mutual.

A recent survey by the Verian sounder, commanded by the Danish newspaper Berlingske and the Daily Greenlandic Sermitsiaq, revealed that 85% of Greenlanders do not want to be part of the United States.

Only 6% of respondents said they wanted to join the United States and 9% of respondents said they were undecided.

Denmark gave Greenland and its population of approximately 57,000 inhabitants of large autonomous autonomy in 2009, which included the right to declare its independence from Denmark to a referendum.

Before the arrival of Vance, the Prime Minister of Greenland, Mute Egede, told Sermitsiaq that the visit was “very aggressive”, in particular with the presence of the National Security Advisor Michael Waltz.

“What does the national security advisor do in Greenland? The only goal is to demonstrate power over us,” said Egede, who increased a push for the independence of Greenland, to the newspaper. “His simple presence in Greenland will undoubtedly feed the American belief in Trump’s mission – and pressure will increase.”

A race for unexploited mineral resources

After his arrival in Greenland, Vance criticized Denmark, accusing him of leaving the island vulnerable to China and Russia.

Vance argued that Greenland would benefit from being under the “security umbrella” of the United States – as opposed to Denmark.

“Our message to Denmark is very simple-you have not done a good job by residents of Greenland,” he said. “You have sub-infringement in the inhabitants of Greenland, and you have sub-invest in the security architecture of this incredible and beautiful terrestrial mass.”

In recent weeks, demonstrators have gathered in Nuuk, the capital of Greenland and the most populous city, to relax against Trump’s rhetoric.

With independence potentially at sight, many of its citizens fear Trump’s efforts to annex the island.

But Trump sees an opportunity and does not let go.

The United States sees a future where the world powers of jockey for unexploited mineral resources in Greenland – in particular oil and gas – since a large part of the island is in the Arctic Circle. And with Île Ice Ice Ice Transformer Parties, strategic shipping channels could open.

This makes Greenland a major target for Trump’s agenda to America.
