President Trump continues to express interest in the U.S. gaining control of Greenland, citing foreign threats. Carla Sands, the former U.S. ambassador to Denmark and Greenland, says having control of that country is about countering China and Russia.

The article discusses former U.S. President Donald Trump's interest in purchasing Greenland, which is framed not as a whimsical or eccentric idea but as a strategic move against the geopolitical ambitions of Russia and China in the Arctic region. Carla Sands, a former U.S. ambassador to Denmark, argues that Trump's push for Greenland is rooted in the island's strategic importance due to its natural resources and its position in the Arctic, where both Russia and China are increasing their military and economic presence. The article highlights that Greenland's potential for mining rare earth minerals, which are crucial for high-tech industries, and its location for potential military bases, make it a key asset in the global power dynamics. Sands suggests that Trump's interest was a forward-thinking strategy to counterbalance the influence of these superpowers in an area becoming increasingly vital due to climate change and the opening of new shipping routes.
