Greenlanders are increasingly worried that their homeland, a self-governing region of Denmark , has become a pawn in the competition between the U.S. , Russia and China .

They fear Trump ’s aim to take control of Greenland , which holds rich mineral deposits and straddles strategic air and sea routes.

Greenlanders are frustrated that Trump is trying to take over just as Greenland has begun to assert its autonomy.

The U.S. effectively occupied Greenland during World War II , building a string of air and naval bases.

President Harry Truman ’s government offered to buy the island because of “the extreme importance of Greenland to the defense of the United States” Denmark rejected the proposal but signed a long-term agreement.
