Greenlanders get huge benefits from Denmark which includes free health care, free education, and very good pensions. They also receive a very generous subsidy to run their economy annually. I doubt they would give that up and struggle on US health, education, and social security. Trump is lying when he says Greenlanders want to be part of the US.

Daniel Smith is premier of one province she is not the leader of Canada’s united Conservative party. That is not a Canadian party. It is an Alberta party. I really wish that the media of the US would get their information straight.
Last time I check the province of Alberta is Canadian soil. Hence she is an elected representative of a portion of Canadians like Doug Ford is to Ontario. Neither he nor Smith speaks for all Canadians, but they certainly speak for their respective constituents.

Why are Canadian fuel prices so high then? Exporting our oil for the benefit of Americans, while Canadians are getting screwed? Fill me in on the logic behind her comments?
30% - 50% (more or less, depending on the province) of the cost of gas in Canada comes from taxes on top of taxes. Perhaps not the only reason, but it certainly doesn't help.
You do not understand do you, you Export you Oil to US for your Benefits because we are Buying it from you and you Want the Money! You cannot sell it to US for really any higher, because we Produce Tons of Oil ourselves and can even Buy it from other Nations for the Global Price of a Barrel of Oil! Your Prices are High because of your Taxes and Regulations, and assumedly a lack of Infrastructure, like the US has Tons of Refining and Tons and Tons of Pipelines like Spider Webs all Across our Nation, so the Gas Gets to the Gas Station for a Low Cost oppose to Shipping the Oil in (like California does and they have a Higher Cost than the Rest of the US) and then Trucking it all over the place. The Price of a Barrel of Oil is the Price of a Barrel of Oil to all Nations, so your Costs are higher for various reasons past that and none of which is the US Fault!

Your only able to call yourself a first world because of usa. You don't spend anything on defense. You are not even worthy of being a g7 member. You are just like any other typical europran nation.
The idea of the United States purchasing Greenland is completely absurd. You cannot approach someone to buy a property that they don’t own. Denmark does not own Greenland; it belongs to the Greenlanders. Firstly, this proposal is deeply disrespectful to Greenland’s people. Attempting to negotiate with their former colonial rulers over their territory ignores their autonomy and self-determination. Greenland is already on a path to gaining greater independence, and while full independence might be challenging due to their small population and economic constraints, selling the territory to the U.S. would obliterate any hope for sovereignty. Considering how the U.S. treats its own Indigenous populations, Greenlanders would likely face cultural and environmental exploitation, especially given Greenland's untapped natural resources and strategic significance. Secondly, this approach undermines diplomatic relations. If national security is the primary concern, the U.S. could simply collaborate with Denmark-one of its closest allies and a founding member of NATO. Greenland is already NATO territory through its association with the Kingdom of Denmark, and the U.S. has existing military bases on the island. There is no need for ownership to ensure security; diplomacy would suffice. Ultimately, this proposal isn’t about American national security, it’s about Trump’s ego and greed. He appears more interested in making a show of "making America great again" than respecting Greenland’s people, the environment, or international alliances like NATO. Such a move would destabilize relationships within NATO and threaten the alliance’s future.
🤣 this lady is out of her mind! The "Island" of Australia is 4 times bigger than Greenland! How can we believe anything that comes out of her mouth if she lied about that?! NEWSNATION DO BETTER!!
@@zeeleo6115 from brittanica "an island is a mass of land that is both “entirely surrounded by water” and also “smaller than a continent." It cannot be an island by that definition even though it is frequently called an island continent.
70% of Greenland WANTS to be part of the USA, is that not good enough for you????? Smfh 🤦♀️💯 How hard is it for people to understand GREENLAND WANTS TO BE PART OF AMERICA HELLLLOOOOO LIBERALS 💯🤡
most Greenlanders having been working towards their own independence from Denmark, their biggest hurdle is financial (Denmark provides EVERYTHING for them and has kept them underdeveloped for reasons). so getting Greenland to join the Union might not be as appealing to them. BUT like Canadians, a lot of them are more partial to Americans, so an ECONOMIC union is the best first step for both Canada and Greenland to "join" the US. Denmark of course is whining like a donkey because it will basically end up with a smaller territorial kingdom. but hey that's what happens when you ignore a segment of your people for so long. times up Denmark.
@steelsheen thanks for the input ... still I'm concerned for the indigenous greenlanders n their way of life ...what you call under development could also be seen as protecting an unspoiled community..
@@steelsheenyou clearly don’t know what you are talking about. The US needs to get it’s hands off Greenland. We all know the Only reason the US want it - and it’s not due to Security OR to benefit greenlanders! Your country has taken an ugly turn. If your ignorant Leader keeps acting this Way the US Will soon loose it’s friends.
China is closing their door to the USA to provide the resources they need, that’s why trump is under a lot of stress through his remarks. He’s at a breaking point. He can’t just take a country. Canada is willing to negotiate. As for Greenland, he can’t just take it. The native peoples of North America would not let that happen

I don't think they care or will care. If they want it, they'll take it. How do you think America came to be what it is? How Canada came to be?

The problem is Scotland. The British have their submarine bases in Scotland to patrol Russia's access to the North Atlantic. If Scotland leaves Britain, the sub bases will have to move, and the only place is... Greenland.
Yes China’s long game, forward thinking and strategic development and global partnership, and engagement has paid off for them. Key words being engage and cooperate. The US approach to matters is anti-cooperative and unengaging, and frankly downright frightening
If there is no equal contributions to NATO, UN, WHO etc.. The US should tell other countries to pay their fair share now otherwise US should leave these organizations.
Something like this rationale probably explains the expansion rhetoric, not to mention the desire to yield economic control over the passage and natural resources.

Hell, as a Canadian I rooted hard for Trump this last election, but even I'll admit he sounds completely unhinged yapping about Greenland and especially Canada. He needs to get the hell over himself. It is an insult to Canada that this man thinks Canada, a long established, fully developed first world nation is up for grabs. What the heck is wrong with him? The ridiculous ramblings of a lunatic.
No you didn't, Canadians who supported Trump would love have him

Is Trump actually serious?
Yeah... Didn't expect this.
The idea of the United States purchasing Greenland is completely absurd. You cannot approach someone to buy a property that they don’t own. Denmark does not own Greenland; it belongs to the Greenlanders.
Firstly, this proposal is deeply disrespectful to Greenland’s people. Attempting to negotiate with their former colonial rulers over their territory ignores their autonomy and self-determination. Greenland is already on a path to gaining greater independence, and while full independence might be challenging due to their small population and economic constraints, selling the territory to the U.S. would obliterate any hope for sovereignty. Considering how the U.S. treats its own Indigenous populations, Greenlanders would likely face cultural and environmental exploitation, especially given Greenland's untapped natural resources and strategic significance.
Secondly, this approach undermines diplomatic relations. If national security is the primary concern, the U.S. could simply collaborate with Denmark-one of its closest allies and a founding member of NATO. Greenland is already NATO territory through its association with the Kingdom of Denmark, and the U.S. has existing military bases on the island. There is no need for ownership to ensure security; diplomacy would suffice.
Ultimately, this proposal isn’t about American national security, it’s about Trump’s ego and greed. He appears more interested in making a show of "making America great again" than respecting Greenland’s people, the environment, or international alliances like NATO. Such a move would destabilize relationships within NATO and threaten the alliance’s future.
stop trying to sane-wash this fool
Yeah, Trudeau is washed up.
The fact that Greenland has riches in oil and minerals has nothing to do with Trump wanting the island!
This is like telling a homeowner it’s an unfriendly act not selling their paid off house.

70% of Greenland WANTS to be part of the USA, is that not good enough for you????? Smfh 🤦♀️💯
How hard is it for people to understand GREENLAND WANTS TO BE PART OF AMERICA HELLLLOOOOO LIBERALS 💯🤡
most Greenlanders having been working towards their own independence from Denmark, their biggest hurdle is financial (Denmark provides EVERYTHING for them and has kept them underdeveloped for reasons). so getting Greenland to join the Union might not be as appealing to them. BUT like Canadians, a lot of them are more partial to Americans, so an ECONOMIC union is the best first step for both Canada and Greenland to "join" the US.
Denmark of course is whining like a donkey because it will basically end up with a smaller territorial kingdom. but hey that's what happens when you ignore a segment of your people for so long. times up Denmark.

China is closing their door to the USA to provide the resources they need, that’s why trump is under a lot of stress through his remarks. He’s at a breaking point. He can’t just take a country. Canada is willing to negotiate. As for Greenland, he can’t just take it. The native peoples of North America would not let that happen
