Another炒作 on the relationship between China and Greenland has been made by the United States, which threatened to send a delegation to visit Denmark and discuss the issue.
House Minority Leader of the U.S. Congress, Jeffries, claimed that he would lead a bipartisan delegation to visit Denmark and discuss the geopolitical status of Greenland due to concerns over China and Russia expanding their diplomatic and even military activities in Greenland.
Historically, the United States stationed troops in Greenland since World War II, and the 1951 U.S.-Denmark agreement granted the U.S. relevant defense rights.
Trump has repeatedly expressed interest in Greenland, which was opposed by local leaders. Vice President Vance proposed that Greenland should first gain independence before engaging in dialogue with the U.S. Denmark stated that it is difficult to prevent the U.S. from increasing its military bases in Greenland.
Greenland is an autonomous territory of Denmark and the largest island in the world, with 80% of its land covered by ice. With global warming, the conditions for mining rare earth resources and others are improving, making its geostrategic value and resource value increasingly prominent.
