“I might consider imposing tariffs on countries if they don’t cooperate with us regarding Greenland, as it plays a significant role in our national security,” Trump remarked during a healthcare event at the White House.

Greenland, an expansive island covering 2.16 million square kilometers, is rich in resources and a former colony of Denmark. Today, it operates as an autonomous region under Danish sovereignty, located in the Arctic.

With the distinction of being the world’s least densely populated area, Greenland’s 56,000 inhabitants rely on boats, helicopters, and planes for travel between its towns, most of which are positioned along the island’s western coastline.

The capital city, Nuuk, epitomizes these towns, characterized by its brightly colored houses nestled between the rugged coastline and soaring inland mountains.
