These ambitions draw parallels to historical colonial endeavors by European powers such as Britain, France, and Spain. This article explores the motivations behind Trump's territorial interests and compares them to the expansionist strategies of past empires. ​ Greenland: Strategic and Economic Interests President Trump's interest in Greenland centers on its strategic Arctic location and abundant natural resources. He has emphasized the island's proximity to geopolitical rivals Russia and China, suggesting that U.S. control would enhance national security. Trump stated he would consider all options, including military intervention, to acquire Greenland, underscoring its perceived importance. However, Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen has firmly rejected these overtures, asserting the island...
