Trump Again Threatens to Acquire Greenland, Sees Russian and Chinese Presence

Former US President Donald Trump reiterated his proposals to purchase Greenland, expressing the view that the territory should be under American control. In recent posts on Truth Social, he accused Russia and China of having a presence in Greenland and called on NATO to pressure Denmark to remove them. Trump described the situation as “unacceptable” and argued that only the US can effectively manage the area. These statements came ahead of a scheduled meeting at the White House with the foreign ministers of Denmark and Greenland.
