U.S. President Donald Trump has turned Greenland into a geopolitical hotspot with his demands to own it. The island is a semiautonomous region of Denmark. Denmark's foreign minister said Wednesday that a “fundamental disagreement” remains with Trump over the island. Greenlanders are worried. Naaja Nathanielsen, a Greenlandic minister, said people are not sleeping and children are afraid. Trump has dismissed Denmark’s defenses in Greenland, suggesting it’s “two dog sleds.” Greenlanders feel this undermines their culture. Many Greenlanders also dismiss Trump’s claims about Russian and Chinese ships swarming their seas. They believe Trump is interested in Greenland's critical minerals.
