Why Does Trump Want Greenland? The Strategic Question Explained
As Donald Trump renews interest in Greenland, questions are being raised worldwide about the island's true strategic value. While rare earths and critical minerals are often cited, analysts remain unconvinced by claims that Greenland is essential for a US missile defence "Golden Dome," given America already maintains military bases there. Greenland's real importance lies in its unique geography-positioned between the Atlantic and Arctic Oceans-making it a strategic bridge between North America and Europe. Climate change is also reshaping its significance, as melting ice caps reveal mineral wealth beneath a vast, resource-rich landmass that sits at the crossroads of old-world Europe and the new-world Americas.
