Trump needs to stop talking to the American media. They bait him all day long.
Trump never offered to conquer Greenland either. They need not fear. We have a military base there now but it only has 200 of our people there. They can't really take over the entire island of Greenland.
Denmark is responsible for the defense of Greenland and hell this article claims that is necessary that trump add more military thanks to what Russia and China both are doing.
"If Russia were to send missiles towards the US, the shortest route for nuclear weapons would be via the North Pole and Greenland," said Marc Jacobsen, an associate professor at the Royal Danish Defence College.
"That's why the Pituffik Space Base is immensely important in defending the US."
China and Russia have begun building up their Arctic military capabilities in recent years, according to an Arctic Institute paper. The paper called for the US to further develop its presence in the Arctic to counter its rivals.
In January, Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said Denmark was open to discussions with the US, adding that Washington had "legitimate" interests in the region.
"We see a Russia that is arming itself. We see a China that is also starting to take an interest," Rasmussen said.
Trump is also likely interested in the mining potential across Greenland's vast landmass, Mr Jacobsen added, especially the rare earth minerals in the south.
- Notice too just the media claims Trump threatened Denmark since it is in charge now of defending Greenland.
The US president's repeated demands to control Greenland could threaten the Nato military alliance.
