Part 6/8:
The Future of Greenland's Sovereignty
The question remains: can the United States acquire Greenland outright, given its strategic significance? Technically, there is precedent in modern history, as illustrated by Saudi Arabia's acquisition of two uninhabited islands from Egypt for $22 billion in 2017. However, Greenland is densely populated compared to those islands. The ethical and political implications of purchasing land from another nation, particularly one that is inhabited, are complex.
Moreover, an invasion of Greenland would be met with substantial political hurdles, not only from within the U.S. but also from the NATO alliance, of which Denmark is a member. The current geopolitical landscape suggests that military invasion is a far-fetched possibility.
