The recent statements by US President Donald Trump regarding the acquisition of Greenland have sparked a wave of discussion, and for good reason. The purchase of this territory may become a landmark event in the history of international relations, but the implementation of such a deal requires a delicate and diplomatic approach.

The peculiarities of the situation around Greenland are described in the Financial Times.

What the US risks if it uses force

The history of the United States knows examples of successful acquisitions of territories, such as Louisiana and Alaska. However, these agreements were concluded through negotiations and the consent of both parties. The threat of force or economic pressure could lead to international isolation of the United States and the loss of allies.

Greenland is strategically important for the security of both America and its NATO allies. In addition, the territory is rich in natural resources, including rare earth metals needed for modern technology and the military industry.

What can be the benefits for the US and Greenland

However, the acquisition of Greenland should be beneficial not only for the United States, but also for its inhabitants. It is important to take their opinion into account and provide them with fair compensation. According to experts, the value of Greenland could reach $50 billion, which would make every resident of the territory a multimillionaire.

Thus, the acquisition of Greenland should be the result of good-faith negotiations between all stakeholders. Only this approach can guarantee a mutually beneficial deal and strengthen international security.

As a reminder, Donald Trump is claiming Greenland, which has caused a global scandal. Thus, the King of Denmark even changed the coat of arms to emphasize Greenland's affiliation.

This is not the first scandal with Donald Trump's maps, he recently published a map of Canada as part of the United States.
