US pursues strategic interests in Greenland

The US has appointed a special envoy to Greenland, aiming to integrate the island into the United States. This move reignites long-standing American strategic interests in the Arctic territory. Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory, has been a focus of US strategic and military interest since the 19th century, with significant military bases established during World War II and the Cold War. The US has repeatedly attempted to acquire Greenland, most recently in 2019, but both Danish and Greenlandic governments have rejected these offers, asserting their sovereignty.
