Core Viewpoint - The U.S. President Trump emphasizes the need for Greenland for national security, appointing Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry as a special envoy, which has sparked criticism from Denmark and Greenland regarding U.S. intentions towards the resource-rich Arctic island [1][2]. Group 1: Strategic Importance of Greenland - Greenland, a former Danish colony with a population of approximately 57,000, holds strategic significance due to its location between Europe and North America, making it a key site for the U.S. ballistic missile defense system [2]. - The island's rich mineral resources have heightened U.S. interest, with Trump asserting that the acquisition of Greenland is essential for national security rather than solely for its mineral wealth [1][2].
