💨 Abstract

The U.S. is seeking to establish three new military bases in Greenland, a semiautonomous territory of Denmark. President Trump has expressed interest in Greenland due to its strategic location in the Arctic Circle, which is becoming more accessible due to climate change. The move aims to counter threats from Russia and China. Greenlanders, Danes, and Americans largely oppose the idea of U.S. ownership. The U.S. already operates Thule Air Base in Greenland under a Cold War agreement.
