The 'strategic significance' behind Trump's Greenland deal #shorts #us #news #worldnews #Greenland

So, let's take a closer look at the. strategic significance of Greenland here. on our map. As you see, you've got the. United States down here, you've got all. of Canada here, Greenland, and you've. got Europe here, and Russia. Uh. Greenland, which is about three times. the size of Texas, uh always looks. really huge on the globe because of the. the shape of the. uh of the uh globe, uh but it's actually. uh not quite as big, but a very. significant spot there. And if you go. over to here, you get an a sense of uh.

you have Greenland here, which is uh. both in the choke point between uh the. Arctic Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, also a barrier between the Americas and. Europe. And during the Cold War, these. routes were very important routes. This. is where we were monitoring most of our. sub activity between the Soviets and the. United States. And even today, this is. why you often hear President Trump. talking about the the need for ice. cutters uh because it opens up this. ability to uh travel around uh the the.

Arctic region. And of course, also. during as you remember during the the. Cold War, this was the shortest period. uh uh area between Russia and the United. States in terms of missiles. And so, that's why having a missile defense. station here in Greenland is so. significant.
