Why Greenland? Trump ups pressure as Denmark dispatches top diplomat

The U.S. interest in Greenland underscores a broader trend of nations vying for influence in the Arctic, driven by resource potential and strategic military positioning. The involvement of high-ranking officials indicates the seriousness of the U.S. approach, which may strain diplomatic relations with Denmark if perceived as coercive. As climate change opens new shipping routes and access to resources, Greenland's geopolitical significance is likely to grow, making this a critical issue for both the U.S. and Denmark.
