Greenland and Geopolitical Quandaries

This chapter explores Donald Trump's controversial remarks about U.S. claims on territories like Greenland and the Panama Canal, situating these thoughts within America's historical expansionism. It delves into the complexities surrounding Greenland's status, the implications of its potential sale, and the rich resources it harbors, as well as the potential effects on its inhabitants and international diplomatic relations. The discussion raises critical questions about autonomy, governance challenges, and the risks associated with significant resource management in the context of shifting geopolitical interests.
