Trump plans to buy Greenland: reactions from Denmark and the Pacific!

Grönland, Dänemark - The designated US President Donald Trump again makes headlines with his endeavor to buy Greenland. On his Truth Social platform, he said that the property and control of Greenland were of “absolute necessity” for the national security of the United States. Trump had already tried to acquire the Arctic island during his first term, which caused a sensation internationally. Greenland, a self -managed territory under Danish sovereignty, reacted immediately: Prime Minister MuT Bourup Eggede made it clear that "Greenland belongs. We are not available and will never be available," said his clear message on Facebook. As the Schwäbische Post , the Greenland government trumps meets with skepticism and emphasized Importance of freedom and independence of the country.

expansionist ambitions and global reactions

in parallel to his Greenland plans, Trump also expressed his interest in the Panama Canal. He criticized the current conditions under which American ships pass the channel and threatened to exit the existing contract. These statements caused dismay in Panama and were perceived as a dangerous threat. President José Raúl Mulino emphasized that "every square meter of the Panama Canal and the adjacent areas belongs to Panama," as the Aargauer Zeitung reported. Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum also made it clear that she supported Panama on this matter.

Trump ties in his plans to an “America First” philosophy, which now apparently contains an aggressive expansion. After announcing his intentions, the Danish government's reminder that Greenland was not for sale quickly became loud. As Trump made a similar proposal in 2019, the Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen soberly says that "Greenland is not for sale". However, Trump could be in a dangerous game on the geopolitical chess board, where economic and military interests collide, while the international community looks at its next steps.
