Trump ramps up pressure for U.S. control of Greenland
Jan. 21
President Donald Trump has ramped up his campaign to acquire Greenland in the coming days. The Arctic island is a semi-autonomous territory of NATO ally Denmark.
In recent days, Trump has cited that the U.S. requires the island for national security needs. Despite heated objections of Greenlanders and the Danes, Trump has not ruled out taking it by military force.
European allies of Greenland have increased their presence on the island. In response, Trump has threatened seven E.U. countries and the United Kingdom with new tariffs if they refused to support American control of Greenland.
Dr. Evelyn Farkas, the Executive Director of the McCain Institute joined “Arizona Horizon” to discuss these developments.
