The story of the United States' interest in Greenland is not just a modern headline; it is a long-standing geopolitical ambition that dates back to World War II. In this video, we explore the historical timeline and the recent 2025 developments that have brought this Arctic giant back into the global spotlight. From Nazi occupation to Donald Trump’s latest diplomatic moves, we break down why this frozen island is considered the most valuable real estate on Earth.
We begin by looking at the 1941 agreement signed during the Nazi occupation of Denmark, which allowed the U.S. to establish a military presence to protect the Western Hemisphere. We then dive into President Harry Truman's 100 million dollar offer to purchase Greenland in 1946 and the subsequent establishment of Thule Air Base (now Pituffik Space Base). The narrative shifts to the modern era, examining Donald Trump’s 2019 proposal and the shocking 2025 appointment of Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry as a special envoy to Greenland, signaling a renewed and assertive "America First" Arctic policy.
Beyond military bases, Greenland holds the key to the future of global resources. With vast deposits of rare earth minerals, oil, and gas, the island has become a focal point of competition between the U.S., Russia, and China. As climate change opens new shipping routes in the Arctic, the strategic value of Greenland's geography has never been higher. Watch until the end to understand the legal, political, and economic implications of this ongoing saga between Washington, Copenhagen, and Nuuk.
