U.S. President Donald Trump's Interest in Acquiring Greenland Stirs Controversy Over Sovereignty and Security
Greenland's strategic location, rich mineral resources, and potential military security benefits have sparked interest in acquiring the island from U.S. President Donald Trump. The proposal has been met with opposition from most Greenlanders, who favor eventual independence from Denmark. However, the Danish government maintains that Greenland is not for sale.

- How will the international community balance national interests with concerns over human rights, environmental impact, and cultural preservation in cases where sovereignty is disputed?
