Abstract
President Trump's announcement of his desire to buy or annex Greenland—if necessary by military force—has projected this hitherto little-known territory into the international headlines. This article looks briefly at Greenland's widely quoted promise of hitherto untapped, but fabulously rich natural resources, examining America's history of land acquisition and its claim to Greenland. It provides a brief overview of the geography of Greenland, followed by its history and a description of geopolitical factors, before taking an overview of its possible exploitable mineral resources.
