Trump se niega a descartar el uso del ejército de EUA para anexionar Groenlandia

By Jordi Bou

January 8, 2025 - El presidente de EUA se ha negado a descartar lavía militar para adquirir GroenlandiaU.S. President-elect Donald Trump has refused to rule out using military or economic action to pursue acquisition of the Greenland.

Greenland is the world’s largest island and an autonomous Danish dependent territory with self-government and its own parliament.

Because it straddles the Arctic circle between the United States, Russia and Europe, Greenland is a geopolitical prize that the U.S. and others have eyed for more than 150 years. It’s even more valuable as the Arctic opens up more to shipping and trade.

Despite boasting vast oil, gas, and rare earth mineral reserves, the island depends heavily on fishing and annual subsidies from Denmark, which cover roughly half of its public budget.
