The trip served as a reminder of President Trump’s unwavering stance that Greenland is essential for the United States. “We have to have Greenland. It’s not a question of ‘Do you think we can do without it,’” Trump stated emphatically, reinforcing a longstanding ambition that extends back decades. While the weather was cold, the underlying political messages remained significant.
