The president-elect says owning Greenland is vital for US security, but experts say he may also be eyeing other aspects of Greenland such as its trove of natural resources — including rare earth metals — which may become more accessible as climate change melts the territory’s ice.

At the end of World War II, the Truman administration offered Denmark $100 million for the island, according to documents first reported on by Danish media.

Neither offer came to fruition, but under a 1951 defense treaty, the US got an air base now called Pituffik Space Base, in northwest Greenland. Midway between Moscow and New York, it’s the northernmost outpost of the US armed forces and is equipped with a missile warning system.

This ish bull$hit lah, the last thing that CCP and Russia want ish for US to have complete control of Greenland and then have the full authority to build any military establishments on, especially nuclear weapons. At least nao under Denmark the land ish not utilized, have limitation on wat US can do on it and thus create a potential loophole for CCP and Russia to exploit in time of war.

Unless the article suggest Trump would take greenland from Denmark and then give it away as gift over to Russia. then Putin really will laugh.
