In a surprising geopolitical move, US President-elect Donald Trump has expressed interest in incorporating Greenland as American territory. The idea, which many view as ambitious and controversial, has reignited discussions about US territorial acquisitions.

Trump announced that his son, Donald J Trump Jr, will soon visit Greenland, though his visit is primarily for personal content creation rather than diplomatic discussions. The President-elect believes Greenland's inclusion could significantly benefit the region and strengthen US security.

Greenland's Prime Minister, Múte Egede, meanwhile, has voiced aspirations for Greenlandic independence from Denmark, which complicates Trump's proposal and invites a new wave of political discourse over sovereignty and territorial self-determination.
