    There's all this talk from Trump & some Republican politicians about Canada, Greenland, & Panama becoming States yet they are ignoring the actual United States Territories. I personally think that The 6 United States Territories (Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, Northern Marian Islands, & American Samoa) should be granted full statehood.

    It true that US is addicted to oil.
    It seems that Greenland has more natural resource than Venezuela+Iraq+Afghanistan combined.
    And the fun fact, Greenland is quasi empty compared to the countries mentioned and it's close to north America.

  • @holmbjerg
    @holmbjerg 15 днів тому +1

    The weird thing about this, is that they kinda already have it. There has been a defense agreement since 1951. In 1917 the United States signed a treaty that GUARANTEED Danish supremacy over Greenland. But the defense agreement makes it possible for the US Army to operate freely in Greenland. That is why they basically already have opportunities. They just haven't used them so far.

    • @muhammadjoshua7464

    • @holmbjerg
      @holmbjerg 13 днів тому

      ​@@muhammadjoshua7464The natural resources are currently not financially fissible to extract. The oil and natural gas Greenland has, was explored about 15 years ago and it was determined that they would be very costly to extract.
      And then add huge local opposition against putting the environment in danger by drilling or mining in any way that carries a risk.
