Trump already has a lot of what he wants in Greenland

The article from Politico's National Security Daily discusses the strategic importance of Greenland in the context of U.S. foreign policy, particularly under a potential second Trump administration. It highlights that while former President Trump once expressed interest in buying Greenland, the U.S. already has significant military and economic interests there. The U.S. maintains Thule Air Base, crucial for missile defense and space surveillance, and has been investing in Greenland's infrastructure, including a new deepwater port at Nuuk. The piece notes that Greenland's strategic value has grown due to climate change, which has opened up new shipping routes and access to natural resources. Furthermore, the article mentions that the U.S. has been working to counterbalance Chinese and Russian influence in the Arctic, with Greenland being a key area of focus. Despite Trump's previous interest in outright purchase, the U.S. has been securing its interests through diplomatic, economic, and military means, suggesting that Trump's goals for Greenland are already being met to a significant extent.
