U.S. Territorial Acquisitions and Trump's Renewed Interest in Greenland

Credited from: FORBES

  • Donald Trump Jr. visited **Greenland** amid his father's renewed calls for the U.S. to acquire the territory, which has been rejected by local leaders.
  • The U.S. has historically made significant territorial purchases, including the ownership of **Alaska** for $7.2 million and the **U.S. Virgin Islands** for $25 million in 1917.
  • Significant acquisitions have also occurred through treaties, such as the **Louisiana Purchase** in 1803, which involved 827,000 square miles at $15 million.
  • Greenland is crucial for U.S. military strategy and has a growing geopolitical significance due to changing Arctic shipping routes.
  • Local officials firmly state that Greenland **is not for sale**, contrasting with historical U.S. interests that date back to the 19th century.
