Last week, President Donald Trump doubled his ambition to buy Greenland despite the fact that he was completely rejected by Danish Prime Minister Mette Fredericksen in a recent call between the two .
“I think we'll get it,” our bold commander insisted at the best when we spoke to journalists in the Air Force last week.
Trump hinted in early January that Denmark could be forced to force Americans to grant ownership of the autonomous island.
Last week, North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) deployed two Air Force F-16s from Alaska to Greenland, claiming “a standard agreement with the Kingdom of Denmark to advance Norad's presence in the Arctic Circle. I exercised it.”

Trump's justification for wanting to be part of America's Greenland is “protection of the free world.” The United States is “something that can provide freedom.”
“They can't (Greenland and Denmark),” Trump emphasized last week on a presidential aircraft.
The rationale for Donald's argument lies in the universe.
Greenland's strategic significance for the US and Europe lies in the fact that it houses Pituffik, a key US military base run by the Space Force, an all-new service division founded in 2019.
With Greenland providing the shortest route between North America and Europe and geographically sitting at the top of the Arctic world, Pitafik Space Station allows for the advantage of the universe, the heart of the US combat doctrine. It performs important functions. Due to its unique geographical location on the world map, the base is an important hub for early threat detection achieved by both peace and war peace and missile warning and space surveillance in control.
During my service at the Defense Intelligence Agency, I specialize in space warfare and participated in a war game that simulates armed conflict in space. Space already supports every aspect of our war as a satellite – 8,530 space birds on unorganized levels of orbit, most of every country – communication between the military, synchronous operations, missile warnings, navigation , intelligence collection, allowing us to target weapons and precision strikes.
The historical importance of Greenland to US national security as a debate about the island's future roaring

Space is undoubtedly the next frontier in future armed conflicts, with both Russia and China preparing for space warfare. Recognizing the geostrategic values of Greenland and the Arctic, America's top two enemies have conducted joint military training in the Arctic. Russia and China are planning to disrupt or destroy satellites to rivals during wartime or to negate “kill chains” and prevent our weapons from reaching our targets. Both Moscow and Beijing have strengthened their commercial and military presence in the Arctic. Russia already has more military bases in the Arctic than its combined US and NATO. Russia has 57, while NATO has 32 among Canada, Denmark, Norway and the US
By acquiring Greenland, President Trump could attempt to establish Monroe Doctrine 2.0 to disengage the US enemy from the realm of strategic interests and strengthen the advantages of the universe. Denmark has not invested in Greenland security, as Defence Minister Troels Lund Paulsen admitted in early January.
Trump probably wants autonomy on this strategic island, so he doesn't need to resort to Danish authorities for national security decisions that the Space Force and Space Stations have made a prominent appearance for their mission. Many of this missions are related to US counterspace operations against our enemies and are highly classified. Fast operational decisions are important during wartime. Particularly because some of the enemies have preemptive doctrines regarding space warfare. It will force us to engage in strategic initiatives and enhance our ability to stop or win war.

During World War II, after Germany's invasion of Denmark in 1940, the United States secured Greenland under the Monroe doctrine by signing a “Defense of Greenland” agreement with the Danish ambassador.
It is not surprising that Russian President Vladimir Putin is not satisfied with Trump's efforts to strengthen Denmark, making the United States his Greenland.
“We see very closely the rather dramatic development of the situation, but so far, thank God at the level of a statement,” said Putin's reporter Dmitri Peskov in early January. I said. Peskov declared that the Arctic Circle is “in the realm of national and strategic interests, and that he is interested in peace and stability there.”

President Trump has excellent geopolitical and geopolitical instincts. This could have a positive impact on the US military strategy. Trump is the first president to recognize the strategic values of space as a war-fighting realm and prioritize America's superiority in space. To that end, 18 years after Putin founded Russia, Trump founded the US Space Force in 2019. He was laughed at by former State Department spokesman Jen Psaki and many other former Obama-era officials.
Trump's goal to acquire Greenland is my assessment as a former intelligence agent specializing in space warfare, as a wise move from a national security standpoint.
