United States President Donald Trump said on Thursday to have confidence that the US would attach Greenland.
“I think this will happen,” he told reporters during a meeting at the Oval Hall.
Greenland’s DeMokraitat Pro-Negócios Party, which wants a slow approach to the independence of the territory in relation to Denmark, won the parliamentary election on Tuesday (11)-a result that Trump claimed to be good for the United States.
Denmark, in turn, said Greenland is not on sale.
Greenland is the largest island in the world and home of over 56,000 people. Former Colony and now an autonomous territory of Denmark, it occupies a unique geopolitical position, located between the US and Europe. Its capital, Nuuk, is closer to New York than from the capital of Denmark, Copenhagen.
Trump says he possesses Greenland is vital to US security, but experts say it may also be an eye on other aspects of the territory, such as its natural resources that can become more accessible as climate change melts ice from the territory.
This includes oil and gas, as well as rare land metals, highly sought after for electric cars and wind turbines of the green transition and the manufacture of military equipment.
