What Is Greenland Issue | Trump Escalates Greenland Push, Threatens Tariffs on European Allies

Donald Trump Truth Social | Donald Trump has renewed his push for U.S. control of Greenland, escalating pressure on European allies with threats of tariffs. He says Greenland is vital for U.S. national security and warns that if America does not act, Russia or China will. Trump has suggested the island could be acquired “the easy way” or “the hard way,” implying both purchase and force as options. But Greenland is not just strategically important — it is also rich in natural resources like rare earth minerals, uranium, and potentially oil and gas, which could become easier to access as the ice melts. NDTV’s Apurva Adhikari explains why Greenland matters and what’s driving the controversy.
