    The Spin

    Republican narrative

    The US must secure control over Greenland to protect American national security interests. Making Greenland part of the US would help to balance Chinese and Russian influence in the increasingly strategic Arctic region. It would also secure access to critical mineral resources essential for technological advancement.

    Democratic narrative

    Greenland's future and independence must be determined by its own people, not external powers. Trump is clearly only interested in Greenland for its critical minerals, and if the US wants access to them, it should forge a partnership that benefits both sides.
