"President Trump wants to take control of this mineral rich Arctic island that sits strategically between Europe and America. Greenlanders, meanwhile, want to make sure to be able to control their own destiny as they debate whether or not to declare independence from Denmark. Those questions aren’t even on the ballot, but it is absolutely on everyone’s mind. In so many ways, Greenland finds itself in a situation somewhat like Donald Trump did when he was a real estate mogul in New York. For them, it’s all about location, location, location."

12. SOUNDBITE (English) Danica Kirka, The Associated Press:
"Greenland is home to a base that guards the Arctic and North Atlantic approaches to America. But the island’s location is only becoming more important as the retreating ice cap exposes deposits of rare earth minerals that are vital to the world economy, and melting sea ice opens up as the once mythical Northwest Passage through the Arctic, which could slash shipping times between the North Atlantic and Pacific."

"Trump’s comments about Greenland, which is home to about 56-thousand people, may speed up the island’s moves towards independence. As one lawmaker I spoke with earlier this week said ‘We were always for independence. But Trump has changed everything. And the world has changed everything. And we now need to move much more quickly.’"

STORYLINE:
When U.S. President Donald Trump first suggested buying Greenland in 2019, people thought it was just a joke. No one is laughing now.
Trump’s interest in Greenland, restated vigorously soon after he returned to the White House in January, comes as part of an aggressively “America First” foreign policy platform that includes demands for Ukraine to hand over mineral rights in exchange for continued military aid, threats to take control of the Panama Canal, and suggestions that Canada should become the 51st U.S. state.
Increasing international tensions, global warming and the changing world economy have put Greenland at the heart of the debate over global trade and security, and Trump wants to make sure that the U.S. controls this mineral-rich country that guards the Arctic and North Atlantic approaches to North America.
