The administration led by US President Donald Trump has started working on a surprising strategy to bring Greenland under its control. According to reports, the Trump administration is planning to give cash directly to the people of Greenland so that they agree to separate from Denmark and join the US.
According to the report of news agency Reuters, American officials are considering the option of giving a lump sum amount ranging from $ 10,000 to $ 1 lakh to every citizen of Greenland. If this plan is implemented, America may have to bear a total expenditure of about 6 billion dollars. However, no official announcement has been made by America yet regarding this proposal.
Why does Trump want Greenland?
Donald Trump has been continuously saying that Greenland is very important for America from national security point of view. He believes that control over Greenland is necessary to stop the increasing activities of Russia and China in the Arctic region. Trump has already expressed his desire to buy Greenland and has even said that military options cannot be ruled out.
Strong opposition from Denmark and Greenland
Both Greenland and Denmark have rejected Trump’s plan outright. Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens Frederik Nielsen has clearly said that Greenland is not for sale and now such fantasies have no meaning. The Danish Prime Minister even warned that if America attacked Greenland, it would raise questions about the existence of the NATO alliance.
European countries expressed concern
After Trump’s statements, the stir in Europe has also intensified. France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, Britain and Denmark have issued a joint statement supporting the territorial integrity of Greenland. European leaders have clearly said that only Greenland and Denmark can decide the future of Greenland.
Why is Greenland so important?
Greenland is an area rich in natural resources and has large reserves of rare minerals. Its population is about 57 thousand and it is currently a semi-autonomous region of Denmark, where Denmark has the responsibility of foreign policy and defense.
