West Palm Beach: US President-elect Donald Trump has once again reiterated his call to buy Greenland from Denmark. Even during his first term, he had tried to do something like this but was not successful. Now Denmark has also been included in the list of friendly countries, with whom Trump is taking a confrontational approach even before taking office on January 20. “For purposes of national security and liberty throughout the world, the United States feels that ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity,” Trump wrote in announcing his ambassadorship to Denmark on Sunday.
What did Trump say about Panama Canal and Canada?
Trump again plans on Greenland. Earlier last week he suggested that his country might retake control of the Panama Canal if nothing was done to reduce the rising shipping costs required to use the Panama Canal connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Could. He is also suggesting making Canada the 51st US state and making Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau the ‘Governor’ of the ‘Great State of Canada’.
There is an American military base in Greenland
Let us tell you that Greenland is the largest island in the world which is located between the Atlantic and Arctic oceans. It is covered by 80 percent ice sheet and there is a large American military base here. Greenland is a self-governing country. However, it is still part of the Kingdom of Denmark. That means, indirectly, the European country Denmark rules here. The domestic activities of Greenland are overseen by the government there. This government handles education, health, natural resources and law enforcement along with home affairs. Its capital is Nuuk, from where all the administrative work is looked after.

‘We are not ready for sale’
Meanwhile, Danish President Mute Borup Eggede has said that Trump’s latest appeal for US control over Greenland will be as futile as his first term. “Greenland is ours,” he said. We are not up for sale and will never sell. We must not lose our age-old fight for freedom.” (AP)
