U.S. President Donald Trump has made an American takeover of Greenland a focus of his second term in the White House. He has called it a national security priority while repeating false claims about the strategic Arctic island. In recent comments, he has floated using military force as an option to take control of Greenland. He has said that if the U.S. does not acquire the island then it will fall into Chinese or Russian hands. Greenland is a self-governing territory of NATO ally Denmark. Experts have repeatedly rebuffed Trump’s claims.
