Donald Trump has shown large interest in Greenland since the beginning of his tenure, but his last declaration in legislature that the United States "will get it 1 way or another," put the substance in a fresh light. Why the president of the United States is so curious in this island.
During his speech in Congress, Donald Trump made it clear that Greenland is crucial for the safety of the United States. – We request it for national security, and even for global security. And we work with everyone active to effort to get it," he said.
Trump didn't hide his determination. – We will get it – 1 way or another – he announced. This is why Trump, despite the immense opposition of the largest island population in the world, wants to “join” Greenland into the US.
The precious resources of Greenland. That's why Trump won't give up.
As the study of the Polish economical Institute indicates, the island is simply a actual treasurer of natural resources, including uncommon earths, which are essential for the production of modern technologies specified as electrical vehicle batteries, wind turbines or batteries.
The deposits of these natural materials in Greenland are 36.1 million tonnes and account for around 30% of planet resources, making it an highly valuable territory (comparable to China) in the context of global competition for natural materials. – It is simply a very tiny population, but a very, very large part of land – Trump noted, stressing that this island has strategical importance that goes beyond the peace of its inhabitants.
But that's not all. Greenland besides abounds in another valuable natural materials specified as titanium (12.1 1000 tons), phosphorus (11.5 1000 tons) and niobium, tantalum, vant, graphite and platinum, which are essential for the production of modern technologies and are included in critical and strategical natural materials lists in the European Union.
Donald Trump does not even discourage the distance that is more than 11 hours of flight from Washington to Greenland's capital – Nuuk. His determination to take over the island does not weaken and the distance between the United States and the "price natural materials" does not prevent him. He is convinced that there is no force that could destruct his dreams of the Golden Age of America.
Greenland says "NO"
Although Greenland is crucial for Trump, the inhabitants of the island and the government of Denmark have a very different opinion. Greenland is the largest island in the planet with an area of 2 million 175 1000 sq km. About 81 percent are covered by landfalls. Its territory is dependent on Denmark and its population is only 57,000 people.
The island's economy, although based on valuable resources, is tiny – yearly GDP is about $3.24 billion. The main sector of the economy is fisheries, which is the basis for income.
Despite this, there are over $57,000 per capita, making Greenland 1 of the more prosperous regions in terms of income per person. The Greenland Government and Denmark powerfully reject any Trump proposal. Moreover, Greenland introduced government to defend its politicians from force from abroad countries, including the US.
