'Not important for Denmark': Trump says US needs Greenland for 'protection of the world'

US President Donald Trump reiterated his claim that Greenland is strategically vital for global security and should remain under US control, dismissing Denmark's interests. During a NATO meeting with Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, Trump asserted that Denmark was 'not important' for Greenland and criticized the country for not adequately supporting the island. He argued that the US needs Greenland for 'protection of the world,' despite Denmark's sovereignty over the territory. Trump's comments reignited tensions between the US and Denmark, drawing criticism from European allies. The remarks align with previous claims that Greenland's strategic location and resource potential make it crucial for US national security, particularly amid rising competition from Russia and China.
