In 1946, America offered Denmark $100 million for Greenland. Denmark said no.
In 2019, Trump tried to buy it again. Denmark called it “absurd.”
In 2025, Trump says he might just take it—and won’t rule out military force.
Why does the most powerful country on Earth keep obsessing over a giant block of ice with 56,000 people?
Because Greenland isn’t just an island.
Under that ice: trillions of dollars in rare earth minerals—the same minerals China controls 90% of.
Above that ice: the only path Russian missiles can take to reach American cities.
And in 1959, America built a SECRET NUCLEAR BASE under Greenland’s ice—without telling Denmark. It’s still there, leaking toxic waste.
This is the story of America’s 80-year obsession with Greenland. The secret bases. The failed purchases. The resources. And what happens if America finally decides to stop asking.
