Greenland’s strategic position in maps for Trump’s interest

US President Donald Trump is in Davos, Switzerland for the World Economic Forum, where his interest in acquiring Greenland has caused tension with European leaders. Trump threatened tariffs on countries opposing his takeover of the Danish territory, warning of economic consequences unless they comply. Greenland, the world’s largest island, is politically part of Denmark and strategically located in the Arctic Circle. The region’s melting ice has sparked increased shipping activity, with key routes connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Military presence in the Arctic is limited, with Greenland hosting a key US airbase.
