US President Donald J Trump's fixation on territorial conquest reveals a worldview deeply resistant to change. Critics argue his second term has been defined by an increasingly personal logic that reflects a stagnant and paranoid mindset formed decades earlier, with foreign policy moves once seen as aberrations now hardened into core objectives.
A central flashpoint is his insistence that the United States acquire full control of Greenland. Trump stated bluntly that owning Greenland outright is 'psychologically important for me,' acknowledging he would not be content with treaty rights or expanded military presence alone. 'Ownership gives you things and elements that you can't get from just signing a document,' he said, adding that such control was necessary for success.
