President-elect Donald Trump has expressed intentions to take control of Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark, citing its strategic and economic importance. Greenland, primarily inhabited by indigenous Inuit people, holds vast natural resources that are becoming more accessible due to global warming. The U.S. has maintained an interest in Greenland since World War II, especially concerning military bases and national security. Previous attempts by U.S. presidents to acquire Greenland have been rebuffed by Denmark, which maintains control over foreign affairs.
