- President Donald Trump’s repeated interest in taking control of Greenland has not gone unnoticed in Russia. During a Thursday speech, Russian President Vladimir Putin said he considered the U.S. interest in Greenland to be serious, pointing to past efforts to acquire the territory. Greenland has massive deposits of rare minerals that are critical to global supply chains, which the Trump administration sees as vital to U.S. interests.
Russian President Vladimir Putin cautioned against taking the Trump administration’s newly declared push for taking over Greenland lightly.
