WASHINGTON -- If President-elect Donald Trump's assertion that the United States should have control of Greenland sounds familiar, that's because he's said it before -- during his first term as president.
Back in 2019, Trump's call caused a brief diplomatic tiff with Denmark, under whose sovereignty the vast island falls. Then as now, the suggestion was met with derision in some quarters, but it spotlighted serious questions about the icy territory's strategic significance in an era of accelerating climate change.
