A song of ice and metal: Is there a benefit for the US in buying Greenland

The island has prospects for resource extraction, but it will be expensive to develop

In December last year, US President Donald Trump said that for the United States, ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity. Prior to that, he expressed interest in buying the island from Denmark in 2019, but was refused. In 2025, Trump was also told that the island was not for sale and would not be, but Denmark could cooperate more with the United States.
