News India Live, Digital Desk: Many times international news seems like a film script. Just think, in today’s era, can any one country talk about buying a large part of another country? It sounds a bit strange, but this is nothing new for America’s newly elected President Donald Trump. for some time now Donald Trump’s plan to buy Greenland Once again it has come into discussion.
What is the matter?
Actually, this controversy started when the news came that the Trump administration was considering the possibility of including Greenland (which is an autonomous part of Denmark) into the US. Even some strategic and military options started being discussed in it. But Denmark has taken a very strict and clear stance on this and said that “Greenland is not for sale.”
After all, what is it like in Greenland?
Now the question arises that what is there in this huge ice covered island that the world’s biggest superpower is so desperate to get? Actually there are two big reasons behind this.

Denmark’s stand and bitterness of relations
The Danish government and its people are very conscious about their sovereignty. For them, Greenland is not a ‘real estate deal’ but a part of them and the home of the people who live there. When this issue was raised for the first time, there was a heated debate between the two countries. This insistence of Trump was termed as ‘absurd’ by the Prime Ministers of Denmark.
Is this possible?
To be honest, in today’s era it is almost impossible to deal with any land like this. For this, not only international law but also the will of the people living there matters. Nevertheless, Trump’s repeated raising of this topic shows that America does not want to be left behind in the Arctic battle in the times to come.
while going…
Politics has its place, but a country’s identity and its dignity cannot be valued. The people of Greenland are masters of their own will and will not sell their independence to any major power.
What do you think? In the modern world, should the boundaries of trade and diplomacy be extended so much that land deals start taking place? Please let us know in the comments.
