The world has the world's largest defense budget. Last year, the country spent $ 948 billion in defense. Their armed forces have 1. 3 million personnel and some of them are currently located in Greenland. A senior researcher of the Danish Institute for International Research said that if Trump had indeed entered Greenland by force, "it would be the shortest war in the world, Greenland has no defensive potential. Americans would be at the helm.
" For the first time, US President Donald Trump's statements about Greenland sounded during his first stay in the White House. He then stated that he was considering the possibility of buying Greenland and even canceling a state trip to Denmark after the statements of local officials that this autonomous territory was not sold. Later, in December 2024, the newly elected president again made it clear that Greenland wants to be under the control of the United States.
Repeated statements were made in early January 2025. Denmark Prime Minister Matte Frederixen noted that Greenland's island belongs to its inhabitants. High -ranking officials from European countries have condemned Donald Trump's statements on territorial claims for Greenland owned by Denmark. The media reports that the words of the US President's chosen "will provoke a diplomatic alarm around the world. " German Chancellor Olaf Soltz was surprised by Trump's comments on Greenland and Canada.
